Hokaiji Temple
Famous for its White Bush Clover Blossoms in Early Fall
After the fall of the Kamakura shogunate, Emperor Godaigo ordered Ashikaga Takauji (1305-1358) to build this temple on the site of the ruined mansion of the Hojo regent family in order to pray for the repose of the souls of the Hojo family. The temple is known for the white bush clovers that bloom along the approach to the temple in early fall. The principal image is the statue of a seated Jizo Bosatsu (child-raising jizo), an important national cultural asset.
