Hisashi decided that surfing and SUP-ing weren't enough—he had to give windsurfing a try. There are a number of water-sport schools along Yuigahama Beach, but Hisashi had his eye on one instructor in particular, a fellow he'd watched teach others and thought seemed good. So, he headed over to Poerava Windsurfing and met with instructor … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Windsurfing Lesson
Photo of the Day: Fishing for Balloons
Matsuri (festivals) are a major part of Japanese summer. With traditional, international and fireworks festivals on the go, you could easily cram every weekend of summer full of celebration. For kids, it's all about the games and prizes (and food). Pictured is one of the standard games, where kids try to "fish" a little balloon … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Fishing for Balloons
Photo of the Day: Kamakura to Fujisawa
A fuzzy shot of our sweet little train. The entire Enoden Line, from Kamakura to Fujisawa, only takes about 35 or 40 minutes. And it wouldn't take nearly as long if it didn't snake through so many backyards, with barely a foot's clearance (or so it seems) between train and shrubbery. At one point, it … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Kamakura to Fujisawa
Photo of the Day: Spokes
A little black and white for a Sunday morning. This is a lotus leaf from Kosoku-ji. I really must get down to Hachimangu to see how its lotus are coming along.
Photo of the Day: More Hydrangeas

More of the garden at Kosoku-ji. The temple is overwhelmingly green right now.
Photo of the Day: Almost There
Another lotus photo, with more to come once the season really gets underway. This is, again, from Kosoku-ji.
Photo of the Day: Lotus Leaves
It's almost lotus season, and the early ones are already budding. These lotus leaves are from a small plant at Kosoku-ji, a small temple next to Hasedera. Kosoku-ji has an impressive garden, but not too many lotus flowers. For a pond-full, head over to Hachimangu, where hundreds upon hundreds of blossoms stretch up towards the … Continue reading Photo of the Day: Lotus Leaves
Photo of the Day: Waiting By the Tracks
Just what are all these people waiting for, cameras in hand? Why, they're waiting to get a shot of our most adorable little train with hydrangeas in the background. And there was only one thing to do—join them.
