🍱 Delicacy of the Day
Rinzen - Life as it is.
American’t Rinzen has been on my radar for a while now.
He specializes in house tracks that are minimalistic but get stuck in your head.
This one has a fun melody that the whole song builds around.
It’s also impressive how fast the song blows through. Even though it’s 5 minutes long, you don’t feel them.
It’s a nice little song that lives up to its title.
Njoy.

💭 Quick Drivel
Today is a ligher one, gonna try out doing a list with a brief description.
Day 6 plan was simple:
Go to the Cup Noodle Museum in Yokohama.
One of the best museums I’ve been to. Even though it’s such a simple concept, the way they spun it into a museum on finding solutions is something that stuck with me.
They also have this INSANE restaurant that serves different type of “ramen” from other countries. A very interesting “live exhibit” mixed with a cultural museum.
Highly recommended. You get to make your own cup noodle.
Run it down to Kamakura to do as many temples as possible.
The beautiful thing about the train system is how well it works.
…And how unable to use it I am.
I got on the wrong train at least once which extended the commute by a good 30 minutes.
Visit Kotoku-in
Yeah so, getting here was an experience.
The train that led directly to it runs every 30 minutes and gets sardine-packed.
So instead I took the bus!
Which was also sardine-packed.
I fully understand why though.
Tourists aside, the place is incredibly peaceful.
You can also go inside the statue, which was a cool experience. It’s impressive to see things that are built hundreds of years ago stand strong.
Visit Hasedra Temple
This is one of the biggest and most impressive temples I have visited.
It’s this multi-story temple with a cave, hundreds of stone mini Buddhas, and an amazing beach view
If Kamakura has something, it’s natural beauty.
…And a lot of “no poppers or drugs” ads in the buses and trains.
Admittedly, this is a place where I saw A LOT of dudebro foreigners.
Maybe the beach is like a beacon that attracts the worst kind of tourists.
Get lost and find a random shrine
This one was pretty cool, as Google craps Maps can’t guide even if it's entire purpose was to do that.
But I found this beautiful shrine hidden in between some buildings.
It was definitely not meant for foreigners, as all the people there seemed confused as how I got there.
Then music started playing, and I saw a bit of an acted show. I have no clue what it was about, something about samurai.
It was a very cool experience; I didn’t get to see all of it as I was running out of time for the last stop in Kamakura.
Visit Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine
This was hailed as one of Kamakuras most important shrines and WOW.
Everything about it was overpowering, not to mention huge.
One of the most amazing things about Japan is how it combines the old with the new.
Maybe it's because I’m used to the American Style™of things not really being that old, but seeing these ancient structures built out of religious duty is something awe-inspiring.
For all the bad rep religion gets, it sure makes people do gorgeous things.
RUN BACK TO YOKOHAMA TOWER FOR THE SUNSET
Another day, another tower.
As usual, I couldn’t make it on time for the sunset.
This one was really cool. Even though it only let you see Yokohama its insane how that “little” city has so much to see.
I also almost forgot my phone here, lol.
Overall this is a 9/10 tower. Taking pictures and recording sucks.
Get back home at 1am.
Yeah so, being on trains all day is cool and all.
Something that didn’t hit until this moment is how much time we spend getting places.
If there’s one good thing cars have over public transportation, its speed of arrival.
Granted, having a car in Japan sounds like hell, but that’s a topic for a different day.
For now, it was time to repeat the cycle.
