I hiked 天園ハイキングコース (Ten-en hiking course) in 鎌倉 (Kamakura, Japan) on 18 March 2007 with 明日香 (Asuka) to breath fresh air and admire statues of 天狗 (tengus). The weather was fine for our five kilometers across the forest, with clear views over 横浜 (Yokomaha) in the north-east and the sea in the south. We walked from 鎌倉 (Kamakura) station to 鶴岡八幡宮 (Tsurugaoka-hachimangu shrine) then checked several temples on the way to 瑞泉寺 (Zuisenji temple). There, we started the hike, which took us to 建長寺 (Kenchoji temple); its buildings and statues were great rewards after the physical effort.

I saw 流鏑馬 (horseback archery) for the first time at 鶴岡八幡宮 (Tsurugaoka Hachiman-Gu) in 鎌倉 (Kamakura, Japan) by pure chance on 18 April 2004, in company of 治子 (Haruko) and François. Local music and modern dances preceded the archery contest, generating a festive atmosphere. Archers were difficult to see as they rode a long alley bordered with trees and spectators but we managed to reach a place where we could see the target and final action.
