Sean > Golden Week News (Day 1)

Hello everyone! This time, I want to tell you about my Golden Week vacation to Tokyo. It was a lot of fun, but very busy! First, I went to Kamakura to see the Big Buddha Statue (大仏). I was surprised at how large it is.

After that, I went to see the Hachimangu Shrine(神社). The shrine area was large, and filled with many tourists(客). I was suprised to hear the sounds of a ceremonial(儀典) dance. I followed the sound to see many people dancing in traditional(伝) costumes(衣装). I don't know the Japanese name for this style of dance, but I heard it was a dance used for religion(宗教).

Next, I relaxed in my hotel room for an hour then headed out ("to go"; "went") to Roppongi and Odaiba for some exciting night life (夜遊び) and shopping. I found a mall called "Venus Fort" in Odaiba which was very beautiful inside- it made me think of a theme park. Take a look at this fountain (泉)!

That's my first day in Toyko!

Day 2 coming soon...!
