Yakisoba
焼きそば
One of my favorite memories of living in Japan was hiking over the hills from where we lived to Kamakura. It's a cool hike, pretty, with lots of shrines and temples dotting the landscape. Kamakura, of course, is a Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine wonderland. You can spend your day wandering around the shrines and temples, go shopping on Komachi Street, and of course, fill your mouth with delicious yakisoba from one of the street vendors. It's a perfect way to spend a Saturday.

Kamakura Daibutsu
鎌倉大仏 The great buddha in Kamakura is the second tallest bronze Buddha in Japan. The temple, Kotokuin, belongs to the Jodo Sect of Buddhism which is committed to the liberation of all beings. So be ye a saint, a sinner, rich, or poor, everyone is welcome to be guided to the pure land and receive enlightenment. As a major tourist attraction, one of the ways the Buddha brings souls to enlightenment is by bringing throngs of hungry tourists to Kamakura who then indulge in delicious Yakisoba. At the end of the day, everyone goes home full of warm and delicious enlightenment. |
