Kamakura Travel: The Treasure of a Beautiful Temple in the Garden, Kaiko-zan Jisho

⛩️Hase-dera Temple in Kamakura is our next stop on our Kamakura trip. This is a historic Pure Land temple. Compared to the grand and majestic simplicity of many ancient temples, I would prefer to call Hase-dera Temple a treasure of a beautiful temple hidden in the garden. It not only has its own functions, but the environment here is really beautiful! ————————— Name: Hase-dera Temple Address: 3-11-2 Hase, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Transportation: Enoden Hase Station ————————— ⛩️This is a stunning ancient temple located on a lush hillside with an excellent location backing onto the mountains and facing the sea. The scenery is pleasant throughout the four seasons. You can not only experience the human history, but also relax and cleanse your emotions. 🌟Profound historical and cultural heritage Hase-dera Temple has a thousand-year history. It was built in 721 AD and has been preserved to this day through several dynasties, carrying rich historical memories. 🌟Unique architectural and artistic value The 9.18m tall Eleven-Headed Kannon statue in the temple is said to be carved from sacred wood. The Japanese-style garden architecture is full of Zen and the scenery is very special. 🌟Superior geographical location and landscape Because it is located at the foot of Mount Kannon, you can not only overlook the streets of Kamakura, but also have a panoramic view of the coast. The sea of flowers in the four seasons is especially spectacular. 🌟Rich cultural and artistic integration There is a museum in the temple, which is also the local people's center of faith.
