One of the things we learned from our first visit to Japan, was 'when in doubt, follow the school children.' It worked this time as well. The picture is a bit blurry because I was taking it while walking up the stairs of the Kamakura train station. It's a smaller tourist spot and we didn't really have a map of where anything was. But, when we got off the train and saw hordes of school children, we just started following them, and sure enough, they knew their way to all the different tourist locations already.
Yes, we ran across an Amish cafe. Did not stop in to eat though. They might not have let us after taking a picture of their sign.
The second largest Buddha in Japan. I think it would look bigger if the original surrounding building were still there. But I guess they were only willing to rebuild it so many times after various disasters before they finally gave up. Did Lance mention that you could go inside this one? Yup, for a measely 20 yen per person (which works out to about 20 cents) you can walk inside. You go down super-steep unlit stairs and then you're inside the Buddha. People were slapping his belly from the inside because you can't reach it at all from the outside.
And finally, Anata-no Warehouse. This is the outside of the arcade Lance mentioned.
And this is what the inside of the ladies room looks like.

OMG! I love that ladies room picture!! If I didn't know it was a ladies room . . . ;-)
Thanks for the pictures!
I'll try to do a few more picture summary posts as the days go on. It's just so hard to narrow down the photos at this point!
