Kamakura, Japan
This is the main reason I wanted to visit Japan. I wanted to go to Kamakura. This is a gorgeous city that was the center of government in Japan until 1313. This wonderful Buddha was inside a temple and it was covered with gold leaf. That is until a tsunami in the 1600's took the building and weather since then has taken the gold leaf.
Kamakura was spared from bombing during WWII, that is the reason we can admire and visit such a wonderful place today.
