| I am in the EnodenTrain |
 |
| Snap snap, the houses are so near to us! |
 |
| Concentration is required |
 |
| Hmm... what's that so near to the houses? |
 |
| What is this station? Are we there already? |
 |
| Another train so close to us |
 |
| Pictures again! |
 |
| Pacific Ocean right? |
 |
| Look! Surfers! |
 |
| We passed the Ocean view and reaching our destination soon. |
 |
| We reached Hase station! |
 |
| Another Enoden train on the opposite platfoam. |
 |
| I felt very very nostalgic upon seeing this train. |
 |
| Begin our walk towards Kamakura Big Buddha |
 |
| Pass by this temple |
 |
| This shop sells many Tibetan items and thangkas. I like it very much. |
 |
| We want to try Senbei. ¥100 per piece! |
 |
| Senbei dipped in soya sauce |
 |
| I see this as a pancake and nothing else. I ate it. Sorry Buddha. |
 |

 |
| Exploring the street of Kamakura. This is the Street to the left after coming out of Kamakura station |
 |
| This is the small street leading to Enoshima |
 |
| Sun is setting, we are here to view the beautiful sunset. |
 |
| Use the underpass to cross over the road. |
 |
| Looks like dragon or pheonix, very nice right? |
 |
| Munching onigiri bought from Lawson (convenience shop) nearby. |
 |
| When you are hungry, anything is good. |
 |
| When you can enjoy your favourite food while enjoying the nature (sunset), your mind is relax and you are happy. I find that this is so true when looking at this picture. |
 |
| White flower is pretty too when the place is pretty. Surrounding and the environment do make a different. |

| The tower is an icon of Enoshima. If we walk to the tower, we will miss the sunset. Due to time constraint, we choose to sit by the bay while enjoying the tower from afar. |
 |
| View of opposite bank from the bay with orange ray from sunset |
 |
| Camera check! |
 |
| Let's have a photo |
 |
| Look! It's sinking into the horizon! |
 |
| Semi sank |
 |
| OK, sunk! |
 |
| Gone... |
 |
| "Did you capture it?" |
 |
| "I don't hold the camera!" |
 |
| Lawson. We took our own sweet time, walking back to Enoshima station (still leisurely), not knowing that we were already late. |
 |
| Enoshima Station & the miniature tower |
 |
| 3 metallic birds attached to the iron gate, and the people dressed them in Santa's gear. so sweet :-) |
 |
| Missed the last Enoden train, so take the train from here. We ran as fast as our legs could carry but still miss the Express one by few seconds only and we have to take the Normal one which, plus waiting, took us hours... |
 |
| Lastly, we end our night at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, to have a good look at the "Million dollars" night view. It was gorgeous like sparkling jewels, but unfortunately no Tokyo Tower to be seen. |
