Chapter 379
Kamakura.
Located in Kanagawa Prefecture, it is one of the three major metropolitan areas of the 11 wards and is an important city in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and it has flourished as a tourist destination since the Edo period because of its proximity to the sea and the ancient city with a history of nearly 1,000 years.
Coming out of the station, Xu Yang and Akemi held hands and blended into the crowd like a couple.
"First stop, where are we going?" said Akemi, waving her fist excitedly.
"How about going to Kotokuin Temple to see the Big Buddha first? Then at noon Michikomachi-dori will try the food street, by the way, take a stroll around Hachimangu Shrine, and finally go to Meigetsu-en, but unfortunately June in Meizuki-en is the season when hydrangeas bloom..."
Since he chose the location of the date, Xu Yang was naturally prepared, and began to introduce Akemi to the places worth visiting in Kamakura.
"How about we go to the Nanchirihama Coast to enjoy the sunset?" Akemi was very longing, and it was quite a romantic thing to enjoy the sunset with the person she liked.
At the same time, it was something that she couldn't dream of before.
"That night, we went to the movies together, do you think it's good?"
"Since you've arranged everything properly, then I'll go with you!" Akemi winked playfully, the corners of her mouth unable to hide a happy smile.
...
Kotoku-in, located in the Jodo sect, is an open-air bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha, with a net height of 13.35 meters and a weight of about 93 tons, making it one of the largest national treasures in Japan.
Unlike the Buddha in Nara, which has been repaired, the Kamakura Buddha has remained in its original form and is very precious.
"Wow!
Soon, when she came to Gaode Temple to look at this open-air Buddha in person, Akemi's eyes widened and she couldn't hide her inner amazement, unlike the photos on the Internet, it was even more shocking to see this scene in reality.
"Ah Yang, I want to take a group photo!"
happily pulling him through the crowd, Akemi suddenly remembered something, revealing a regretful look, "I, I really want to... I forgot to bring my camera, so I can only use my mobile phone now..."
"What do you think this is?"
Xu Yang smiled slightly, took out the SLR camera from his backpack and shook it, "How can you use your mobile phone for the most important photo session!"
Although mobile phones have begun to be intelligent, compared with the high-pixel and colorful shooting software of the previous life, the current mobile phone is still too immature to take pictures, and it is far better than using a camera.
"Hee-hee!"
Akemi wrinkled her nose, approached the Big Buddha, and posed in several cute poses, allowing Xu Yang to take a lot of pictures in a row.
Not only the two, but also a number of other couples around them.
The Great Buddha who has been baptized by the years stands quietly here, no matter how much appreciation and admiration it receives, it still faces the world kindly and calmly.
"Do you want to visit the inside of the Big Buddha?" After taking the photo, Xu Yang suggested.
"Okay!"
Immediately, the two of them held hands and entered the interior from the bottom of the back of the Buddha, and it can be seen that there are traces of many repairs inside.
Before entering the interior, Akemi saw a pair of eye-catching large straw sandals on the left side of the Buddha statue, the body of which was about more than a meter long, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What is this?"
Xu Yang shook his head, he didn't know much about the history of Japan.
A well-wisher next to them explained: "This is an offering made by children to the Buddha." "
"Oh, I see!" Akemi blinked her eyes a little suddenly.
Xu Yang was not as surprised as Akemi, after all, he was always afraid of comparison, he had seen the Leshan Giant Buddha in his previous life, and he couldn't feel too much emotion about the "small" Buddha statue in front of him.
Accompanying Akemi while strolling around and taking pictures, I noticed that she kept posting photos and videos on line and Twitter, and there were some replies from people below.
Xu Yang just glanced at it and ignored it, the most obvious of which was the sister-in-law's remarks reply, and the rest were Xiaolan, Yukiko and some others...
There wasn't much to see in Kotoku-in, and after about an hour of walking around Akemi, the two of them went to the second destination, Hachimangu Shrine, where the Komachi-dori food court was also located.
"That's a lot of snacks here!"
Akemi and Seo Yang walked along the straight street of Hachimangu Shrine, and soon they saw the food street that ran north-south.
If you glance at it, you can see local specialty food shops such as natto and red bean dumplings, as well as Kamakura carved artworks on the outside.
There are more than 200 shops on both sides of the road and in the depths of the street, from long-established restaurants to western-style cafes, attracting many tourists.
"This is delicious!" Akemi took a bite of the red bean dumplings she had just bought, her eyes lit up, and she immediately handed it to Xu Yang next to her as if sharing.
Xu Yang tasted it unpretentiously and nodded slightly: "It's really good..."
"Hey, hey, it tastes good, too. "
Akemi expectantly handed him the steaming okonomiyaki.
Looking at the muffin-like food in front of him, made with vegetables and meat slices, Xu Yang swallowed the remaining half.
"Hmm... It's too cunning to eat mine all the time, and I'm going to try your chow mein too..."
With snacks on her hands, Akemi couldn't spare her hands, so she had to open her mouth coquettishly and wait for him to feed.
Xu Yang smiled slightly, and very naturally took the box and sent it to her mouth, and the two of them enjoyed the rare sweetness in the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of others.
Slowly moving inside from the outside of the street, Akemi tasted snacks including taiyaki, salt-grilled shrimp, Daifuku, Imagawa-yaki, and more.
Of course!
Most of her tastes are superficial, and the rest is solved by Xu Yang.
"Hmm... I'm so full, let's find a place to rest..."
After eating snacks and touching her little belly and leaning against Xu Yang, Akemi couldn't walk anymore.
Xu Yang swept around, pointed to a café not far away with a good environment and not many tourists, "How about that one?"
"Okay!"
Sitting in the corner of the café, Xu Yang silently looked at Akemi, who ordered two cups of coffee and a dessert, and pouted speechlessly.
I just said that I was full, and now I'm duplicitous, do girls really have two stomachs?
One for normal food and one for sweets?
"Ah Yang, show me the camera..."
"Na!"
