Ofuna - Hase - Yuigahama - Hachimangu - Kita Kamakura

It's around 13.6 km according to Google Map; it took one and a half hours including some rest in Yuigahama and Hachimangu. It was crowded due to many visitors, but it's nice route.

Autumn Leaves in Kita Kamakura and Kamakura

While my wife attended her friend's wedding ceremony, I went for a walk with our baby girl with a baby carrier. we passed nearby JR Ofuna station, JR Kita Kamakura station, Engakuji temple (Japanese only), Kenchoji temple (Japanese only), and finally Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine (Japanese only). There were a lot of people enjoying beautiful autumn leaves.

I bought warabi-mochi(large, 1,050 JPY including sales tax) at Kosuzu as a souvenir and took a train at JR Kamakura station. It's about a one-hour walk.

Finally we stopped by my parents-in-law's home and wait for my wife coming back there. It's a great day and I think our daughter enjoyed being with me:-)

Hot spring bath at Maholova-Minds Miura & Sushi Kappou Hougyo

To express my hearty thanks for my wife's day-to-day care for our baby girl, I drove a car and my wife took a hot spring bath while I was playing with my daughter at Maholova-Minds Miura (only in Japanese). It cost only 500 JPY if you buy the ticket before 15:30.

Then we went to my and my wife's favorite sushi restaurant, Sushi Kappou Hougyo near the hotel. We really enjoyed fresh and big sushi! It cost 6,700 JPY for two adults. (Other than sashimi and sushi below, we ordered sea weed salad.)

Hot spring bath at Oiso Prince Hotel & Eboshi in Chigasaki

Since my wife has always been taking care of our baby girl, I recommended her to relax in a hot spring bath alone while I am watching our daughter. Oiso Prince Hotel has a small but clean hot spring bath and it's a convenient place to drive my car. So we went to there. We didn't know it, but the highway toll happened to be free due to the government's social experiment. It seems my wife enjoyed her short-term freedom.

Then we visited Eboshi, a famous seafood restaurant in Chigasaki, for the first time. We arrived at the restaurant at 4:30PM, just after opening. We enjoyed top shell, abalone, mackerel, and so on. It cost 5,700 for two adults. It's not that cheap, but it's fresh and delicious seafood; there were a lot of people in the restaurant.
