We have found a hit place: Kamakura.
It's steeped in history, got lots of Japanese style buildings, beaches, beautiful views and lots of fresh air. Perfect!
We planned to go and see some of the temples and shrines this time, but never got to it. The kids just loved the beach and we hung out there a long time! Again, we all got soaked, but it was so much fun!
The tide had brought in heaps of kelp and the Japanese were wading in the shallow waters and searching the beaches for some "snacks". Very healthy stuff! Apparently what gives them such good hair and skin. ;-)
