# Kamakura Farmers' Market and Kamakura Central Food Market

A little of each town’s story　/　Kamakura, Kanagawa

A few minutes' walk from the east exit of Kamakura Station, this farmers' market has been running since 1928 and is affectionately known as Renbai. Growers from Kamakura and nearby take turns in groups to sell seasonal Kamakura vegetables. The seaward half of the same single-story building is the Kamakura Central Food Market, home to about ten shops, including dried goods and seafood. From the morning shopping to the walk home at night, this day revolved around this building.

1-13-10 Komachi, Kamakura, Kanagawa

## This moment in the journey: What kind of living comes next

The red sign and the "Ramen" noren glowed in the dark. I left the shop and walked past the shuttered farmers' market.

Once again, I was able to borrow a wonderful way of living. What kind of living will I encounter on my next trip?
