Ofuna is an area south of Tokyo, technically part of Kamakura. It's largest tourist attraction is the large Kannon (female Buddha) peeking out from the trees on top of a huge hill overlooking the station. The effect is incredibly impressive. Especially at night, when it is light up. The picture on the bottom is a shrine I happened upon when I pathetically got lost trying to find the path to the Kannon. I didn't mind.
