Kita Kamakura


Faded writing on a torii gate


At the "divorce temple," a place where women could escape bad marriages and become nuns in a time where divorce was not allowed.


Steps leading to a mausoleum. Most were lost in fires or a flood but a few remained in this old temple.


There are a few trees that blossom in the winter. This one (peach I think,) is a little early. The rest of tree appeared dead but there were a few early petals determined to open.
