Jochiji temple was built 1281 upon the death of Munemasa Hojo, the third son of Hojo Tokiyori who was the fifth regent of Kamakura government. Its construction work was advised by Chinese monks, thus the Bell Gate and the Main Building feature Song architectural style.

Beautiful quiet temple surrounded by lush greenery! We started our hike along the Daibatsu trail here which took us to all the way to the Big Budha

One of the Seven Gods to get a special GoShuin. It is a beautiful and very peaceful temple to visit and explore. There are many benches to just sit and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. I highly recommend that if you’re in the Kita-Kamakura area, that you visit there.

I enjoyed this unique temple with little caves in the hillside. It was different than a lot of temples I’ve visited and very serene. It was not crowded. I started the Diabutsu hiking trail from this spot.
