+I call this one "trip zero", because it was very much a trial run for me. The
+effects of having just moved to Japan for the year were still fresh and I 
+altogether didn't feel like exploring quite yet.

+
+Kamakura being a common day-trip from Tokyo, I took the train from my home near 
+Asakusa past Yokohama which only takes 1.5h. The weather was pretty meh, very 
+cloudy and it looked like it would rain any moment.

+The main sight in town (according to most guide books at least) is the big
+Buddha[^buddha]. Naturally I wanted to get that out of the way first.

+
+I had left the house earlier without breakfast, so off I went to the next 
+Lawson to get myself some.
+For some reason I decided to get a Katsu-Sandwich[^sando], which is out of 
+character for me - I usually go for Onigiri - and then to have it on the beach nearby.
+Seeing as i was the only person eating anything there should've been hint 
+enough. As soon as I sat down to take a bite, something comes dashing down past
+my head. I am obviously startled but not prepared for the bird to come back to 
+actually pick the sandwich out of my hand this time around.

+
+There were a few birds (crows in my interpretation) circling overhead just 
+waiting for me to unwrap more food. To have my breakfast in peace I just walk 
+off into town again. Staying away from open spaces for a bit 😄
+
+On my way back to the centre of town, I find a bucket of see-through plastic 
+umbrellas [^umbrella] outside what looked like a beauty saloon, with a sign 
+telling passer-bys  to take one (in Japanese ofc). I guess the visibly imminent 
+rain made the  shop keeper put them out there for tourists (conveniently helping 
+him get rid of *what was probably left behind by his own clients*). Naturally I 
+picked one up: This umbrella would be with me for the next months.

+
+There isn't really that much to say about the big Buddha, in the end it's just 
+a large statue (that you can go inside of for a fee).
+
+Despite the weather there was a surprising amount of tourists and I wanted to
+get out of the bustle, so I followed the street that had let to the temple 
+<!-- TODO: what temple -->
+area. A bit further I came to some stairs next to one of
+the tunnels that lead out of the Kamakura city area, that cut through the
+surrounding hills. OrganicMaps told me there was a hiking path up there, which
+I could take to circle back towards the train station.
