My hometown



Hellow, I'm chiaki. I am from kanagawa in japan. There is below to tokyo.

Kanagawa has 2 distinct aspects, a historical one,and a modern one.
The first shougunate,military government, was formed in kamakura about 800 years ago. So there is a first capital of japan. If you go there, you can see many historicalstructures. For example, temple daibutsu,a huge statue of budha, and shrine...
The modern aspect of kanagawa is represented by yokohama. There is the second biggest city in japan. There has many great sites,such as china town, land mark tower(the tallest building in japan)and etc... Yokohama know harbor town which has developed rapidly since 1859, the year when yokohama opened it's port and has adopted for foreign cultures more readily than other towns.

Hi Chiaki,

You mentioned the Buddha in your town. Does this mean that your city has a lot of temples and shrines, like Kyoto?

But Kyoto is older than Kanagawa.
