Sushi Deshi, 1 year in Japan

During my homestay, Nitta Sensei`s son, Takato, took me to Kamakura, a small city of the Kanagawa prefecture, south west from Tokyo, by the ocean. It used to be the Capital of Japan, and house of Shogun during the Kamakura Period. It`s quite famous for its several temples and particularly the big Buddha, who is overflowed by tourists, including me. Some of the temples were very inspiring, see pictures below. People were practicing Archery in one of those very quiet places. I`d kill for a dojo like that. (Not very buddhist thought, I know) 

So we had a nice day trip, good food and interesting discussions about religions. I`m often trying to make them talk about religion, but everytime, I hit a wall. "So, can you tell me about the different religions?", "Aaah, It`s complicated..." Just tell me please! I understood that there were many different branches of Bhuddism, sometimes called cults. The main religion being Shintoism, or worshipping the Nature itself. That`s it for now, investigation in progress...
