Kamakura Farmers Market

Kamakura, former capital of Japan is about one hour train ride from Tokyo. It is a historical place with winding streets, temples, shrines, shops and markets. The farmers market, Rensokubaijo is opened throughout the week. The products in the market are from local farmers. I did not see any tourists on the day I went. However, the place was lively with customers chatting with the farmers who were there to sell their vegetables, fruits and pickles. I also had time to enjoy coffee and a piece of seed cake from a hippy coffee joint located within the market.
