I Beyond the Cities ■ Though the Japanese seeks leisure and rest from crowded cities in his religious and cultural centers, the visitor to Japan finds quiet beauty also in the pastoral countryside, market places of small conununities, and in the scenic fishing villages. Both Kyoto and Kamakura are of great religious importance to the Japanese people. The Kainakura Daibutsu, or Great Buddha, has rested serenely for hundreds of years as a symbol of faith and power to his believers. The farms, illages, and market places of the countryside are considered more distinctively Japanese than the Tokyo Bay area.
