Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 229 Kamakura
Eating their own Okonomiyaki to fill their stomachs, the three of Naruse rested for a while, came out of the Okonomiyaki shop, and went to the second-hand shop next to it for a stroll.

The things in the store are mainly clothes and accessories, as well as some weird little things, and the three of them shopped with gusto.

After wandering around the antique store for half an hour, the three left and continued to the next place.

Back at the station, they took the Enoden. This time, they sat until Kamakura Station, the terminal of Enoden, before getting off.

"Let's take a stroll here in the afternoon."

"uh-huh."

Coming out of Kamakura Station, there is a huge cherry blossom above the underground passage next to it.

The leaves are bright green, and the pink petals flutter in the wind and fall to the ground.

"it's beautiful……"

Click!

I took a few photos, and when I came out from the other end of the underground passage, I could see the vermilion torii in the corner ahead at a glance.

"That's the torii gate of Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine, and it's also the entrance to Komachi Street."

The crowded Komachi Street is the most important commercial street in Kamakura.

There are many special shops on both sides, including souvenir shops and many large and small food shops. After walking a few steps, Hai Xing began to regret eating too much just now.

Walking past a snack shop, there were many elementary school children crowded inside, so she wanted to go in and have a look no matter what she said.

Naoko and Naruse followed suit.

"Is there any school nearby? I seem to have seen several snack shops and stationery stores on the way here." Shangzi asked.

"Maybe, I didn't notice... Komachi Street has all kinds of shops."

"I just saw an ancient art shop in Kamakura."

"I went inside the last time I was here..."

After turning around in a circle, the three of them continued to move forward, and a burly man stood by the side of the road, who suddenly yelled as they passed by.

"Wow..."

Starfish was taken aback, looked at him twice, and met his gaze.

The latter took a step forward, "This beautiful little girl, you want to..."

Hai Xing didn't respond yet, Naruse raised his hand to prevent the other party from approaching further.

"Need not."

"Okay." The burly man didn't think he was disobedient, smiled at the three of them, and continued to shout.

After walking for a while, both Shangzi and Haixing looked back.

"that is……"

"Rickshaw driver."

"really."

"If a person travels to a strange city that he doesn't understand at all, and he doesn't want to spend time researching local travel strategies, rickshaws can be said to be the best choice." Naruse said, "Those rickshaw drivers know almost everything, such as the local Historical allusions, where are the delicious food or interesting places, even which store has a discount, which angle can take the best photos... Of course, the price is not cheap."

"Have you ever sat in Chunhai?" Shangzi asked.

"When my mother and I went to Arashiyama, Kyoto, I took it once. The two coachmen were her fans, not to mention how enthusiastic they were along the way."

Hai Xing looked at him, "Did you take the money in the end?"

"Received."

"Oh."

Continue to walk forward, the roads under your feet extend in all directions, and there are also various special shops hidden in the small roads extending on both sides of Komachi Street.

"'Shonan Pork Dumplings'...I really want to try it."

"buy it."

Turning from Xiaomachi Street to the alley, and then back to Xiaomachi Street from the other side of the alley, in addition to a fried dumpling, the three of them also held a bunch of soy sauce dumplings.

"I really shouldn't have eaten too much at Changgu Temple just now."

"I said I'm going to visit Komachi Street in the afternoon."

"You didn't say there are so many delicious foods here."

"You can think of it without saying it."

Starfish bit off a dumpling and didn't speak.

There are also many bookstores on Komachi Street. When Naruse meets him, he will go in and look around, but he doesn't buy any books.

"If you want to choose a book, then you don't have enough time...Although I'm just hanging out now."

Entering from the entrance of Kamakura Station, the three of them walked all the way to the end of Komachi Street, and it was almost two hours later.

"That's the main gate of Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine." Naruse pointed to the torii gate at the intersection ahead.

"Go and see."

After walking for a while, I came to the torii in front of the Hachimangu Shrine. Starfish looked back and saw the cherry blossoms in the middle of the driveway, forming an endless pink and green path.

"From Kamakura Station, you can go directly to Hachiman Shrine through this approach."

"It's so beautiful."

"It is said that Minamoto Yoritomo built it to pray for his wife's safe delivery."

At this time, the cars were coming and going, and they had already arrived in front of the Hachiman Palace, so there was no need to go there. The three of them took a few more glances before turning around and entering.

After crossing the bridge, there is a pool on the left and right sides, namely Heike Pond and Genji Pond.

"Tsuruoka Hachiman Shrine was founded by Genji, and Hera is Genji's enemy, so there is nothing at Heike Pond, and it is very deserted, while Genji Pond is full of lotus flowers, and Hagakame Benzaiten is enshrined in the pond." Cheng Seto said.

"Hey, since you are an enemy, why do you need to repair the pond for Mrs. Ping..."

"How many small islands do you see in Heike Pond?"

Starfish counted, "Is there four seats?"

"'Si'tong'death' (also a homonym in Japanese), so this can also be understood as a curse."

"...Wow, Genji is so boring."

Shangzi smiled at the side, also a little speechless.

As the place where the samurai family rose, Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine is a symbol of Kamakura, covering a vast area and attracting many tourists.

The ground on both sides of the approach road is paved with gravel. It was a sunny day, and more people would cause flying dust. Shangzi and Haixing frowned as they walked.

But the main palace of Hachiman Shrine was still on a long flight of stairs, the three of them had no interest, and their physical strength was not much, so they simply didn't go up.

After walking around and taking a few photos, they left through another exit on the west side.

Following the guidance of the map, Naruse walked to the next Mingyueyuan, and Naruse suddenly felt emotional.

"It feels like after giving up the idea of ​​climbing up to pay homage to the main palace just now, it seems that something else was also given up."

Haixing dragged his body, "Strength..."

Shangzi also nodded, unable to hide his exhaustion.

"Too many places to visit today."

"Let's go back after visiting Mingyue-in Temple." Naruse said, "We won't go to Enkakuji Temple and Tokeiji Temple."

The two had no objection, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Hai Xing even got a little more energetic, "I feel like I've been in the temple all day today."

"I was in Enoshima in the morning."

"A shrine is no different from a temple."

Come to Mingyueyuan, which is famous for its hydrangeas. It is not yet June when the hydrangeas bloom, but there are also cherry blossoms to enjoy.

It seems that because of the word "Mingyue" in the name of the temple, stone-carved rabbits can be seen everywhere in the temple, hidden among the flowers and weeds, which are lifelike.

After looking at another famous dry landscape garden in Mingyueyuan, the three left.

"Finally going home..."

"I'm so tired from shopping."

Naruse walked in front, looking at the clouds in the sky that had been dyed pale gold.

"I originally wanted to go to Enoshima in the evening and go to Zhieryuan to watch the sunset."

The two girls were a little moved, but the next moment they were overwhelmed by irresistible exhaustion. This thought only existed for a moment.

"just forget it."

"Ah."

"If the order of playing in Kamakura was reversed today, it would be just right..."

"In that case, we won't have the strength to climb Enoshima when we get there."

"Anyway, I will spend money to take the elevator up."

"Well……"

The three of them walked and chatted, and suddenly fell silent.

"..."

The roadside is the entrance of Yuanjue Temple.

Although they were already close at hand, the three of them really didn't have the strength to go shopping any more. They folded their hands together at the intersection, and gave up after saying goodbye.

"Next time."

"next time."

Come to Kitakamakura Station, take the tram on the Yokosuka Line, and it will take more than 40 minutes to transfer to Shinagawa Station.

Not long after getting into the car, Hai Xing couldn't resist the drowsiness, and fell asleep leaning on Shang Zi's shoulder, while Shang Zi leaned against Naruse.

"I'm really tired..."

"Go to sleep for a while, I will call you when we arrive in Shinagawa."

Shangzi responded, but did not fall asleep soon.

"I feel like my legs are no longer my own... I have to go to Disney tomorrow, what should I do?"

"Go back and ask Miss Sato to give Shangzi a pinch."

"Does Ms. Sato know how to massage?"

"She often gives my mother a massage, and it's just a massage."

She smiled, "Forget it..."

"Ah."

She closed her eyes, and after a short silence, she said in a low voice, "Pinch it casually, and it will probably help you relax."

Naruse looked at her, "Probably."

"Ah."

"Um……"

"..."

"...After I go back, I'll give Shangzi a pinch."

"is it okay?"

"Ah."

She responded again, rubbing her head against his shoulder, and fell asleep after a while.

After looking at her and Hai Xing, Naruse also slowly closed his eyes.

"I'm so tired..."
