Majestic Kanagawa
The battle with COVID-19 has brought distinct hurdles significantly new to us. No one was groomed for all the challenges brought upon by the pandemic. As we face the dawn of recovery, economies are gradually rising and people are slowly getting back on their feet. Being battle weary, we are aware that as a normal person, we should slow down and rest. Our physical body is not the only aspect that needs refueling, but the mind and the soul should also need time to recharge. As an individual, we need to detach ourselves from the tension, stress and pain caused by the unexpected event. What is a much more effective way of unwinding than travelling to a different place? Head east, head west… no matter where your interests take you, I will say, “Do it!”. More and more countries are opening their borders to tourists, so the options are becoming wider.
Hope to be at the top of your list, is Japan. A place where modernization, high technology, culture and nature forms a symbiotic relationship. In order to fully experience Japan, stay for longer.

Majestic Kanagawa
Located at the south of Tokyo, Kanagawa is a place pretty much behind the shadow of the mighty Tokyo. But, there’s more to Kanagawa that meets the eye. The perfect ensemble of nature and urban living.
A town in the far southwest part of Kanagawa is Hakone. Due to the town’s bounty of natural hot springs, it is the home of a number of onsen ryokan and hot spring inns. Most of these inns are beautifully preserved with traditional Japanese designs, original flooring with tatami mats and futons. You will not only indulge in the wonders of these preserved treasures but you will also experience an ultimate bathing experience. The hot spring water eases muscle tension, boosts calmness and relaxation. Hakone is in the mountain area with Lake Asahi and near Mount Fuji, the scenery itself clears your mind.
Next on the list is the capital of Kanagawa: Yokohama. This town has a massive diverse place to visit. The town’s famous Chinatown is a place everybody visits to taste a variety of authentic Chinese food. Yokohama’s Chinatown has long been a part of the Japanese culture there. This bustling town is an evidence that the early Chinese merchants were truly mesmerized by the natural resources of the town.
Talking about history, Yokohama is the home of the Oshanbashi Pier — Yokohama’s oldest pier. Foreign cruise ships come to dock at this port. The rooftop of the pier has a large space open for everyone. It has a walking path for those who love to jog or simply hang-out and delight yourself looking at those luxurious cruise ships. If you would like to have a unique experience in Yokohama, the Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery is the place to be. The inscriptions written on every headstone are truly a thing to be engrossed in. You will be able to visit the cemetery from the month March to the month of December during weekends and holidays.
If you want a piece of Japan, there’s a town with great historic importance in Kanagawa called Kamakura or locally known as the Kyoto of the East. History described that the shoguns of Kamakura were the ones who reigned the political decisions of the country. Though in recent years, many have questioned its rulings as the emperor did not lose power over the Kansai region. Apart from its mark in history, Kamakura is known to the present day as a popular destination from Tokyo. The Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine is one of the focal points of the destination. The shrine is a Shinto shrine that hosts the beautiful Kamakura Festival held every month of April each year. This spring festival showcases the samurai spirit through exhibitions of traditional Japanese archery. Another temple that also stands out in this town is the Kotokuin temple. The temple is known for its gigantic bronze statue of Amida Buddha. The enormous Buddha statue was built in 1252, and was located inside a large temple. But, due to nature’s catastrophe, the temples were destroyed leaving the Buddha statue in the open. Engulf in the immense tranquility of the place and reminisce some good memories when you embark on this trip. After a soul-searching time, take a stroll along traditional shops near the temple.
