So this shop isn't along Yuigahama Dori, but rather the street that leads to the Daibutsu. For the most part, shops along there shut down early, but there are a few that manage to keep the lights on past tea time.
Photo of the Day: Antique Shop
Towards the downtown end of Yuigahama Dori is an antique shop full of furniture. And then there's this one, full of random bits and pieces of days gone by. This one is much more interesting to walk by.
Photo of the Day: Not Your Average Rice Shop
I love this shop. It sells rice, rice and more rice, which isn't unusual at all here in Japan. But, it's the fanciest rice shop I've ever seen, and that makes me happy. Boutique rice.

Kaede and I went on an evening stroll down Yuigahama Dori (street), and discovered that it's got a different feel at night. Which really shouldn't come as a surprise, but somehow, I wasn't expecting it. The next few posts will be random shops we walked by that drew my attention.
Photo of the Day: Kamakura From a SUP
Kamakura from the water. Hopefully, I'll get a panorama one of these days, but until I figure that out, here's a little slice of the coast.
Photo of the Day: Gone Fishing
A beautiful blue-sky day for fishing. Getting the boat in and out is no easy feat! It helps when the sea is flat as a pancake.
Photo a Day: Sports Day
The second Monday in October is Sports Day in Japan. It's a national holiday, and boy, were people out doing lots of sports in Kamakura. The weather was perfect!
Photo of the Day: Big Jelly
Apparently, the water around our beach is full of these big (well, big for me) guys, but the other day, while SUP-ing, I finally saw one for the first time. Gotta say, I was a little freaked out.
Photo of the Day: Oya-ko SUP
The other day, Kaede came with me out on the paddleboard. "Oya" means "parent", and "ko" means "child", so, parent-child paddleboarding.
Photo of the Day: Blue Paddleboarding
The ocean around Yuigahama Beach is at its best in fall and spring. Beautiful blue sky, beautiful blue seas.
