On the train.

A town on the way to Kamakura.

Sushi anyone?

A true Japanese dining experience!

The entrance to Kamakura.

The main attraction.

It is made out of copper and at one time was housed by a temple.

Stone and metal tablets were everywhere. Wish I knew what it said.

It is customary for the locals to wash their hands before entering.

A beautiful close-up.

American cuisine at the Yokosuka Naval Base.

An Obi, which is a traditional belt worn with a Kimono.

This one costs $175.

The view from the base.

This is what Samantha does as a Master at Arms.

Sam and her friends take us for a ride.

Everything was mini, especially the cars!

A traditional set up.

Another dining experience.

We had to cook our own food!

Samantha invited a few of her friends.

Pachinko anyone?

This is their version of a slot machine.

Instead of sticking in money, you buy little silver balls and stick them in.

You win more balls by getting yours to fall into certain slots.

You can cash out your balls for money.

This is the walk we took everyday to get to the train station.

In front of the Yokosuka train station.

The tree in the middle is a cherry blossom.

A common view.

China Town... in Japan... weird.

A temple in the middle of everything.

This is where we ate breakfast every morning on base. The view was amazing.

Japan has some of the largest ferris wheels in the world.

The architecture was very modern.

The Rainbow Bridge.

The English translations were poorly done.

One of Sam's favorite places to eat. You buy your meal ticket out of a vending machine.

The night life.

The view from a station just outside Tokyo.

The city is very fast paced.

We are on our way to one of the best technology museums in the world.

The Telecom building.
