Kamakura Walking - Enkakuji temple
I walked in Enkakuji following Tokeiji. Before entering Enkakuji, I show you the photo of the bell of Tokeiji temple.
Hojo Tokimune was founded the Enkakuji, in 1282, inviting Zen Master, Mugaku-Sogen from China late Kamakura period. It is said that the temple was built to mourn the solgers including the enemy in the Mongol invasion war. It is one of the head temple of Rinzai sec of Zen..
JR(Japanese Railways) Yokosuka Line has passed in the precincts of Enkakuji.
The photo is to look at the Enkakuji Somon gate from the entrance.
You may find Hojo after going through Sanmon gate..
There is a place with a view of the whole Enkakuji If you go up the road in front of Shourei-in,
you may find a good place to view the whole Enkakuji temple. Three photos taken from at this point.
The side view of Sanmon gate.
Enkakuji temple is famous of Shari-den, but I did not take a picture.
(You may enlarge some of the photes to click them.)
