Komyoji Temple
Spacious Temple Grounds near Zaimokuza Beach
Komyoji Temple is one of Kamakura's largest temples. Founded by Hojo Tsunetoki, this temple became the center for the practice of the Jodo School of Buddhism in the Kanto region around Tokyo. The sammon gate at the entrance is the largest temple gate in Kamakura. Set in spacious grounds, the Main Hall (an important national cultural asset) is the largest hall in Kamakura. The Kishu Garden, with a lotus pond at its center, is located on the north side of the hall, and there is a rock garden on the south side. From the hill behind the temple you can see the beach at Zaimokuza and the Inamuragasaki cape through the trees.
