rising sun diaries, day 5
yesterday was not all bad news as i also finally found a working rollercoaster (directly behind the temple), a karaoke bar and even played a few rounds of some traditional japanese marble game / ancient pinball machine variation.
today i left tokyo to explore the countryside, was inside a giant buddha in ‘kamakura’ and finally found myself a beach. that particular ‘enoshima’ beach turned out to be a local hotspot for young fit japanese which sadly left me feeling neither. however after a quick swim it was also only a short walk to ‘enoshima island’ which was a really interesting fascinating cultural distration.
the day ended in style with yet another rollercoaster ride in downtown tokyo at 10pm surrounded by skyscrapers. breathtaking.
