HOKOKU-JI
Temple

2025
Founded in the 14th century, this pretty, peaceful temple houses a statue of Gautama Buddha. Surrounded by greenery, it is also known as Take-dera, the bamboo temple. It's famous for its dense forest of thousands of bamboos, where the sun's rays barely penetrate. There are also gorintō, small stone pagodas commemorating the victims of the siege of Kamakura in 1333. The small teahouse completes the picture and makes this a very pleasant stopover, even if it is a little out of the way from Kamakura station, 12 minutes by Keikyu bus.
