Day Trip to Yamato & Enoshima (Part 1) / 大和市と江の島の日帰り旅行（パート１）

A couple of weeks ago, Mikako and I headed out to Yamato in Kanagawa Prefecture. We went to check out a co-worker's photo exhibition. Afterwards, we thought we would walk around Yamato, but not finding anything of interest, we then continued on to Enoshima.

二週間前、僕と美香子は僕の仕事仲間の写真展を見る為に神奈川県の大和市まで行きました。そのあとは大和の周り歩いてみたが、面白いところほとんどなかった為、江の島まで行ってきました。

Photo Exhibition / 写真展

This building was the only place of interest we found in Yamato. It is a pizza joint that won some award for the pizza making. Unfortunately, we had eaten lunch before checking out the photo exhibition so we did not try their pizza. So we headed back to the station and went to Enoshima.

大和市でこの建物位が良いなと思った。ピザのレストランです。でも写真展を見る前に私たちは昼食を食べたので、ここのピザは食べてません。残念。それで駅に戻って、江の島を目指しました。

This is the Katase Enoshima station on the Odakyu Line.

On the island of Enoshima. The main entrance where you can see the [Seido no Torii], the gateway to Enoshima Shrine built in 1821. Before heading up the stairs to the shrine, we had to enjoy the various snacks for sale along this main pathway.
