Go further from Kamakuragu to the hinterland of Kamakura。This quiet area, which is different from the area around Kamakura Station, is called the Kanazawa Highway.、Zuisenji Temple and Jomyoji Temple、Hokokuji Temple is a highlight。
There are relatively few tourists、It is good to be able to go sightseeing slowly。Only Hokokuji is an Instagram-worthy spot, and there are many young people.、Let me introduce it in the article of Hokokuji Temple again.。
Walking map "From Kamakuragu to Zuisenji"
Exit the torii gate of Kamakuragu and proceed to the left、Turn left at the next corner。If you go around Kamakuragu, you will see the Yofukuji Temple on your left.。There is no temple now because it is a trace、It seems that it is used as a spacious park。
If you continue straight along the road, you will reach Zuisenji Temple.。The road to Zuisenji is not so wide、There are not many car streets。Parking lot around Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is charged、Moreover, there is a high possibility that it will not be possible to stop because it is often full.、Parking is free at this Zuisenji Temple。10I only have a space to park about a car、Unless you are very unlucky, I think you can stop normally.。
When I visited, there were only one or two other tourists、I didn't even encounter a car on the way to Zuisenji Temple。After all, Kamakura sightseeing is mainly around Kamakura station、I wonder if it doesn't come so far。
The remains of "Yofukuji", a memorial service for Mr. Fujiwara Oshu, including Minamoto no Yoshitsune
I'm getting tired from walking, so I took a break around here。Departing from Fujisawa Station, Kamakura Daibutsu from Hasedera、Zeniarai Benzaiten、Jufukuji Temple、Tsurugaoka Hachimangu、Grave of Minamoto、Egara Tenjin Shrine、I want to take a break by walking in a row with Kamakuragu without a break。Actually, on this day, I used a single-lens reflex camera and a replacement lens to shoot the evening view of Enoshima.、And because I carry a tripod、I was walking around without a break while carrying a considerable amount of weight。Especially with Zeniarai Benzaiten no Saka、The bad road from Genjiyama Park to Jufukuji Temple was terrible.。
There was a bench on the site of Eifukuji Temple (pronounced "Yofukuji"), so I sat there and took a short break.。It feels good to see the pond and trees in front of you as shown in the picture.。
In 1192, Minamoto no Yoritomo was his younger brother, Minamoto no Yoshitsune (childhood name).：Ushiwakamaru) and、It was built to memorialize Mr. Fujiwara Oshu, headed by Yasuhira Fujiwara, who concealed Minamoto no Yoshitsune.。If you look at Yoritomo、You may have been afraid that Yoshitsune, who was killed like a disposable top, would appear as a ghost.。There is also a story that Yoritomo was an extremely coward.。
It seems that the memorial tower, Eifukuji, was also burnt down in 1450.、Not restored after that、Seems to reach the present age。A map of the restoration of Eifukuji Temple at that time was drawn on the information board just at the pond.。It seems that it was a pretty good temple。
Now、I'm not completely tired,、Let's head to Zuisenji Temple。
To the entrance of the Rinsai sect Engakuji school "Zuisenji"
Cross a small stream from the site of Yofukuji Temple、If you go up the slope, you will find the stone monument of Zuisenji Temple.。The entrance is the entrance through the gate that you can see in the back of the photo.。Even though it is an entrance, there is only a hut that can accommodate about one adult.。Then pay the admission fee and proceed inside。
The road that goes straight from the entrance。You can see a dead tree on the left side、This is probably a cherry tree。1 more、It seems that it will bloom beautifully in two weeks.。I'm sorry I can't see that、On the contrary, thanks to that, let's enjoy the merit of being able to calmly go sightseeing because there is no one else.。
Go up the many stairs to the gate of Zuisenji Temple
The main shrine of Zuisenji Temple is located far above the entrance.。To go up the stairs like this。
Fork on the way。Whichever way you choose, you can reach the gate of Zuisenji Temple.。
Even so, the growth of moss on the left road is amazing。There is another name called Moss TempleFirst of all, let's introduce mainly the Kita-Kamakura area where I started sightseeing.I think you're surprised。Now、I chose the stairs on the left to go、I decided to come down the stairs on the right on my way home。I'll join you later so it doesn't matter。
Finally arrived at the gate of Zuisenji Temple。This Zuisenji belongs to the Engakuji school、It seems that Muso Soseki has opened、It is said that it is a prestigious temple lined up in the Kanto Jusatsu, which is next to the Kamakura Gozan.。EngakujiWas introduced in the previous article.。By the way, what is Kanto Ten Temple?Other than Zuisenji、Zenxingji Temple、Toshoji Temple、Wanshou Temple、Daqing Temple、Kosho-ji Temple、Dongjian Temple、Zenpukuji、Hosenji Temple、It's like Chorakuji。I can't remember、Yes。
Cross the garden of Zuisenji Temple to the main shrine
The main shrine of Zuisenji Temple is located ahead of this garden.。It's a building that you can see a little to the right in front of the photo.。I forgot to take a picture of the main shrine, so I'm sorry I couldn't post it on my blog.。
Also、You can see the red stamp at the office on the left after passing through the mountain gate.。When you go inside and ring the doorbell, the boy will welcome you.、I will give you a red stamp book there。Since you wrote it directly, you will be asked to wait in the chair at the entrance of the office, so wait。Here at Zuisenji, the price of the red stamp is not fixed, so it is better to give the market price of 300 yen to 500 yen.。I was happy that you wrote it directly, so I paid 500 yen!
Scenic beauty Zuisenji Garden and Tennyo Cave
Behind the main shrine is a wonderful garden。The mountain surface also has an atmosphere、There is a taste that other temples and shrines do not have
The cave on the right is Tennyo Cave。It seems that it used to be a zazen training ground。
Then cross the bridge on the right、Further up the mountain, there seems to be a building called the Dekai Listei, where monks from the five mountains of Kamakura gathered and held a lyric session, but it is not open to the public so far.。
Although there are few tourists at Zuisenji Temple、The garden is worth a visit, so if you have time, please visit it.。Next time is Jomyoji, the 5th largest in Kamakura Gozan。
