Kenchoji Temple was founded in 1253 by HOJYO Tokiyori (1227 - 1263) , the fifth regent of the "Kamakura
Bakufu" in the Kamakura Age (1185 - 1333). Kenchoji Temple was nominated as the most important temple
among five important temples in Kamakura.

After passing through the "Somon" Gate, you will walk on the well-maintained approach to the "Sanmon" Gate.
You will see that Kenchoji Temple is surrounded by deep forests and the "Sanmon" Gate among trees.

The "Sammon" Gate is the main gate of Kenchoji Temple and was rebuilt in 1775.
The tablet is displayed at the gate, and the letters mean "Kencho-Kokoku-Zenji" in Chinese characters,
which is the official name of Kenchoji Temle.
Those letters were written by Emperor GOFUKAKUSA (1243 - 1304).

If you walk on the approach, you will see the "Butsuden" Hall, the main hall of Kenchoji Temple.
The Jizo statue, the principal object of worship at Kenchoji Temple, is located at the hall.

Behind the "Butsuden" Hall, the "Hatto" Hall, the lecture hall, is located.
The current building was re-built in 1814.

At the end of the temple, the Hojyo Hall is located.

In Hojyo, there is a beautiful garden. The garden was built in the Edo Age.
You will be relaxed and be refreshed with this beautiful view.
