Day 2: Miyajima, Kamakura, and Ginza!



Ginzs! Cool picture effects, huh?

Ahh today was another phenomenal day!! This morning I went to Miyajima and saw the “floating torii” which is  arguably Japan’s most iconic man-made landmark! Its basically  a monument tat symbolizes Japan, but is actually a small part of a complex of shrines on Miyajima, which translates to the “Island of Shrines” for good reason. Haha as you can see I learned alot while I was there! After a nice lunch of sushi I went to Kamakura. Which happens to be alongside the "floating torii" so it was a very convientent stop!
Although the Daibutsu gives Kamakura its deserved recognition the city’s historical record is long and rich. It is no accident that a period in Japanese history is named the Kamakura period (1185-1333), which marked the beginning of the shogunate established in the city! I went to Ginza, Tokyo last because it’s ground zero for neon, shopping, and as close to what Tokyo calls center, or downtown, for such a huge city. And Ginza is  known to best experienced at night so you can view the electronic fireworks which I might add was Ah-Mazzin'!! Lol
Well Goodnight,
Jazzy.(:

Well here's some photos of todaay!
