This small thatched Buddhist temple is the oldest in Kamakura as it is said to have been founded in 734. Inside are three statues of Jūichimen Kannon (the eleven-faced goddess of forgiveness), which are over a thousand years old. The temple's fame is great following a legend that the statues escaped a fire in 1189 by taking shelter behind a giant tree. Today, this temple is best known for being the first temple in the pilgrimage of the thirty-three Bandō temples, a succession of temples in eastern Japan dedicated to Kannon.
