This Buddhist temple is not far from the center of Kamakura but not much visited. It is set in a beautiful little valley where the main sound is bird song. I found this temple to be wonderfully atmosp... more »

We came to this temple looking for the "Gionyama Hiking Trail" but actually the trail starts at Yagumojinja, a smaller shrine close-by, not Myohonji as stated online. Myohonji is not very big but surp... more »

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.
