観光客も多くなく、とても静かで落ち着いた日蓮宗のお寺です。何か素晴らしい建築物や仏像があるわけではありませんが、お寺の境内にいると落ち着いた気分になれます。ただただ落ち着いた雰囲気を求める人だけに訪れていただきたいと感じました。 more »

Is a Buddhist temple of the Nichiren sect without lots of tourists, in a very quiet, calm. And isn't there something wonderful buildings and Buddhist statues, in the precincts of the temple that sober feeling can be found. I felt I wanted to visit only those who seek nothing but relaxed atmosphere.

親族の墓参りに久しぶりに行ってみました。以前はカラスが沢山いて、墓参り用のお線香を強奪されてしまい、日蓮聖人の像の隣の建物の屋根の上まで持って行かれた、苦い経験が有りましたが、今回はカラスはいませんでした。平日のせいか、私以外に1組の墓参りの方々、観光客の方々が数組、いらしただけでした。鎌倉駅前の鎌倉とうきゅうの１階のお花売り場の墓参用の花が高額だったので、近くの農協連即売所の１束300円の小菊... more »

I went to visit the graves of relatives. Had previously had so much Crow, incense for the grave was being hijacked and taken up on the roof of the building next to the statue of Nichiren's bitter experience, but I didn't Crow. On weekdays, was just how, but I have a couple, grave one set of people and tourists. Was expensive for grave flowers flower shop on the first floor of the Kamakura station Kamakura Tokyu kogiku of JA-on sale near the embattled 300 yen and calendula, bought two and 供えました to the grave. Just looked on the net, keep because there is Buddhist and amulets, but in the temple Office charm one buy received. We have recalled that the child visited at the memorial service, often spend a quiet moment.

Very big ancient all wooden shrine with a huge tile roof. Located at the bottom of a small valley, it is a very peaceful place surrounded by nature and birds songs. All the park around the shrine is used as a cemetery, with a lot of variations in the graves styles and sizes. There is a big statue of Nichiren, the monk that inspired this shrine. The gate and main building have nice carvings, quite worth seeing. You can't get inside the building, but you can see. Visiting the place is free.

２００９年１０月１１日に訪問。まだ今ほど神社・仏閣にさほど興味のない頃でしたが、その頃よりこのような神社・仏閣の店頭（なんていうの）の掲示ボードに書かれたありがたき御言葉を写真に撮っています。実に心に響くありがたき御言葉が多いようです。その時にこのお寺さんで撮った写真がこれです。かの日野原ドクターのお言葉です。これぞ長寿の秘訣のようです。

Visit 10/11/2009. At that time, but was still so shrines & temples so not interested in heav'nly word more written on the Board such as shrines and store (nannteiuno) has taken in the photograph. It seems the heav'nly word resonates in the real. Photos taken at this temple then is this. Some are the words of Dr. Hinohara. The secret of this longevity is like.

観光のお寺とは違いますが、遅くまで参拝することができます。源頼朝の乳母を勤めた比企一族のお墓があり、鎌倉時代の歴史が好きな方にオススメです。また、夜のライトアップも素敵です。この境内にはいつも猫がいるので、つい会いに行きたくなるお寺です。

Will differ from the Temple of the tourist can visit until late. Near the grave of the hiki clan who served Minamoto no Yoritomo's nanny, like history of the Kamakura period is recommended. It is wonderful also lit up at night. It is a temple to see this environment always has a cat, so I want to go.

Where to stay in Kamakura

Given the easy access from Tokyo via a number of public transport options, the vast majority of visitors to Kamakura choose to stay in the capital and head here for a day trip. If you feel there's too much to see in one day, then you'll be pleased to find a decent selection of accommodations in Kamakura itself. Down by the sea sit perhaps the most luxurious of the crop, with sea views high on the list of desires for those who stay here. Follow the river as it snakes inland past the train station, and you'll see a good number of more standard hotels, as well as particularly budget-friendly guesthouses.
