Quiet Old Temple in Ogigayatsu
Jokomyoji Temple was the family temple of the Hojo clan and the Ashikaga clan. The Amida Sanzonzo statues (statues of the Amida triad) in the treasure house feature the domon style of decoration, a unique style from the Kamakura Period in which clay decorations were made in molds and applied to the statues. A hokyointo pagoda is located on the mountainside behind the temple. This is believed to be the grave of Reizei Tamesuke, a late Kamakura period poet, son of Abutsuni, the author of Izayoinikki.
