I went there a couple months ago. One of these days I'll sort through those pics and get a few up. Hi Ken,

I think you are talking about Hasedera. I went there a couple months ago. One of these days I’ll sort through those pics and get a few up.

I vaguely remember a temple dedicated to sick or deceased children. There were hundreds of little statues placed by hopeful or grieving family/friends. I spent several weeks at Yokosuka once, so had good opportunity to explore Kamakura in depth. We also stayed at a family Ryokan on one trip. There was little verbal communication going on, but their warmth certainly shone through. Kamakura was one of our favorite places, too.
