Bad Nick, you still have a chance. Kukjukurihama - 92. There are 3 beaches in Kamakura. This is the one in all the movie shots -- and also this Hiroshige print:

You're not a Navy guy are you Guyy? I spent nearly 6mos. in Yokosuka. Non duty days were often spent on beaches at Kamakura and nights were almost always in the bars with the "Yokohama Mama's." -----Added 5/2/2009 at 12 : 26 : 09----- Quote:

No. I lived on that hill on the right hand side of the Hiroshige print as a kid. I also spent a few years in Zushi, which i'm sure you know, and a few in Yokohama as well. In Zushi i was right near the beach, a few hundred metres. I think the angle of the Hokusai print really puts you off Zushi or Hayama. Not that it's super realistic anyway. As you know, you can only see Fuji on a clear winter day, or maybe on a windy summer day when the wind blows the haze off the bay. Are you in the Northern hemisphere? |

You mean this guy, i think.
He was down the hill from us. Maybe you wouldn't know Zushi, which is right next to Kamakura. Most of it is around the point from Zaimokuza/Yuigahama. There was a US Navy presence there in the eighties, but it wasn't so large then. Do they speak Spanish where you are? Last edited by guyy; 02-05-2009 at 10:45 AM.. |

The other possibility is that it was Kannon in Ofuna (near the Shochiku movie studio), but you wouldn't see that on the way in from Yokosuka. She's definitely up on a hill, whereas the Daibutsu in Hase is in a valley. In fact, i think he's been knocked off his base once or twice by tsunami.
Are you in Ecuador? Last edited by guyy; 02-05-2009 at 12:06 PM.. |
