★ Experience

9 Map: A-4 ◆ Kamakura Sightseeing in Kimono

Before coming to Japan, I k new
there were shops where you could
rent kimonos to wear, but I was
surprised at how easy it was. When
I went sightseeing in Kamakura,
I casually dropped by a shop andrented a k imono. T he shop had
many kimonos to choose from. I
found one I liked, borrowed someaccessories and also had my hair styled to match my new attire. The staﬀ
gracefully placed kanzashi (a traditional Japanese ornamental hairpin) in
my hair, giving it a touch of elegance beﬁ tting of the kimono I was wearing.
I thought to myself how very skillful the Japanese are. Once my outﬁ t wascomplete, I left my other clothes with the shop and walked through theold town of Kamakura. As I made my way from place to place, I took many
pictures. The shop staﬀ had ﬁ tted me comfortably, so I was able to enjoy avery pleasant day exploring the town in my kimono.

▶ Connecting with Japanese History and Culture
There are many places in the cit y of Yokohama andsurrounding areas where you can connect with Japanese
history and culture. The best place to start is probably
Kamakura, which has a famous statue of Buddha and some
old temples. As you explore the area, you can feel theremnants of samurai culture. Kamakura has plenty to see
and do for those who would like to experience “authentic
Japanese” culture. However, further inland are open-air
museums surrounded by the tranquility of Japanesenature, where you can learn about the traditional ways ofJapanese living. Finally, there’s Kawasaki. With its large
temple, this bustling town makes for an enjoyable visit.
10 Map: C-2 ◆ Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji Temple
Founded in 1128 AD, the grand main hall at this Buddhist Temple complex issurrounded by various unique prayer facilities such as Dai-Sanmon (Main Gate),and Hakkaku Gojunoto (Octagonal Five-Storied Pagoda) and an Indian-style
Jidosha Kotsuanzen Kitoden (Prayer Hall for Safe Driving) dedicated to all thosepraying for travel safety. It is one of the most popular temples for the Japanesetradition of hatsumode (the ﬁrst visit to a place of worship in the new year toward oﬀ evil.)Kawasaki Daishi Nakamise-dori:
A shopping street extending from the main hall of the Kawasaki Daishi Temple islined with shops of traditional items such as Tontoko rock candy, bright red Daruma
dolls that are said to bring luck, and Kuzumochi, a traditional Japanese jelly.

with walkways leading to the well-spaced structures. This museum area
oﬀers various events and workshops throughout the year.

▶ Fun for the Family

The Yokohama area isn’t just fun to visit; it’s also a popularplace to live. It’s especially great for families because of its
many family-friendly locations. One is Yokosuka, which has
a strong relationship with the nearby U.S. Navy base. You
can take the family to explore an uninhabited island, andwhile you enjoy the view of the sea we recommend picking
fresh fruit ripened by the warm weather. Be sure not to missout on the Machida area as well. It has a park with a petting
zoo and will soon be home to a new amusement park.

18 Map: B-4 ◆ Mikasa Park
Mikasa Park is ﬁlled with musical water
fountains, dynamic wall fountains andan 18-meter (60 ft) tall monument. It’s

21 Map: B-4 ◆ A Cruise of Yokosuka Naval Port

and it was later developed as anaval militar y por t. Shipyards anddr ying docks can be seen from theboardwalk overlooking the bay. Alongthe boardwalk, is a beautiful park withseasonal ﬂowers and a small museum

The cave has been formed by tidal
erosion over a long period of timeand can be reached by hiking alonga rocky beach away from Enoshima
Sea Candle. The cave is surroundedby many legends of Enoshima, andit’s said that it leads directly from the
Enoshima to Mt. Fuji.

Costal Tokaido Route, an old sushi
restaurant, Satsumaya can be foundwhere it oﬀers sushi-making lessons
ranging from the basics to advanced
techniques taught by their chef.
As we have never prepared ﬁsh, anxiety kicks in. But the chef of Satsumaya
taught us how to slice and dice, passing down all those secrets to make various
sushi dishes to us and lastly, enjoying the sushi that we had made.

▶ Active Outings
If you’re a fan of sports, then you’re probably the kind of person who likes doing rather than watching. The Port of
Yokohama’s beautiful bay area is a great place to go jogging and cycling. Why not try some marine activities? Travel alittle farther out and you can visit Zushi; Japan’s marine sports mecca. If you’re into hiking, then drop by Kamakura. It
was originally a samurai city and is guarded by the high-rising Kamakura Alps, which have some old scenic hiking trails.
32 Map: B-4 ◆ Umi no Koen (Marine Park)

36 Map: B-4 ◆ Zushi BeachThis beautiful man-made beach is the
only place where you can dip into theocean waters in the city of Yokohama.
There are facilities for doing marine

come for clam digging, and in summer,
BBQs are popular.

A beach facing Sagami bay with many restaurants and bars. Several schools
in the area provide all year stand-up paddling (SUP) and windsur finglessons. Inquire in advance for lessons in English.
Feather Factory Zushi
SUP has been growing in popularity in Japan recently, so if you’re thinking of
SUP’ing in Japan, please come to Zushi coast. This calm and beautiful sea is theright place for ﬁrst time SUP’ers. Feather Factory Zushi opened last year, andduring the summer, you may have lessons from an English-speaking instructor.
Marine Blue
Marine Blue has over 30 years of experience in opening a shop in Zushi.
At this school, they provide not only SUP but also windsurfing lessons.
Depending on the season or weather, Mt. Fuji can be seen on the board!

33 Map: A-4 ◆ Riviera Zushi Marina

12 Map: A-4 ◆ Finding Tranquility through Zen
and the Samurai Spirit ― SAMURAI Project in Kamakura

In Kamakura, the birthplace of Japanese Zen Buddhism, I had a chance to learn
about real samurai culture and wield a special Japanese sword. There I discoveredthat a true samurai is very different than what you see in movies and video
games. My experience began at Kigen-in Temple. At this quiet and serene temple,
which isn’t open to regular tourists, I relaxed my spirit and mind through zazen
meditation. This is the same kind of meditation that Apple’s Steve Jobs was so
fascinated by. After a calming session of meditation, I dressed in a kimono andtried my hand at a martial arts technique all samurai learned, Iai. Iai is the art ofdrawing your sword, cutting down an opponent and sheathing the blade again,
all in one ﬂuid motion. With authentic Japanese sword in hand, I practiced slicing
through stalks of straw. The sensation was incredible. With instructions andexplanations available in English, you can learn not only how to use a Japanesesword, but also the deep connection between Zen meditation and the ways of thesamurai warrior. This was an unforgettable experience.

Although I couldn’t read the Japanesetext, I was charmed by the personalityof this quaint residence once ownedby the late Jiro Shirasu, who was a
Japanese businessman and served inJapan’s first democratically-electedCent ral L iais on O f f ice a f ter t he
Second World War. Its atmosphereand surroundings shone through andthe charm wasn’t lost in translation.
This thatched roof residence featured the museum born from his home, arestaurant, ‘Play Fast’ Bar and Gallery, as well as a semi-outdoor cafe area.
Truly a place to relax and enjoy the day with other people! The museum
showed how Jiro lived by bringing together the impact of experiences as a
student in Cambridge, England and his Japanese heritage, and successfully
merging them together as you can see throughout the museum.

Hiking Along the Kamakura Alps ―The Tenen Hiking Trail◆

Like Kyoto, Kamakura’s large collection of old temples has made it a popularplace for sightseeing. When I heard of hiking courses along the Kamakura
Alps, I decided to pay it a visit. South of Kamakura is the sea, and surrounding
it from the north, east and west are sprawling mountains. The northern
mountains are called the “Kamakura Alps.” The Tenen Hiking Trail begins at
Kenhoji Temple, a famous place in Kamakura known for its very large old
Buddhist temple. The course takes you through the temple grounds andup a long staircase. When you reach the top, you come face-to-face with another-worldly Karasu Tengu (Japanese goblin) statues. This isn’t your average
hiking course, it’s one paved with Japanese history and culture. The entire
course spans about 5.5 km (3.4 mi) across a low altitude. While appreciating
the surrounding nature, you can walk the course in about 3 hours. On clear
days, they say you can see Mt. Fuji far oﬀ in the distance.
Tenen Hiking Trail: Kenchoji Temple in Kita-kamakura to Zuisenji Temple in
the east of the city, leading mostly along the ridge of the hills.
