Stroll precincts steeped in history since the Kamakura period

About this spot

A Nichiren-sect temple near Koshigoe Station on the Enoden line, known as a sacred site connected with the monk Nichiren in the Kamakura period. The grounds hold a five-storied pagoda, rare in Kanagawa Prefecture, and you can worship in a composed atmosphere. The Enoden tracks run right alongside, and watching the trains pass close to the precincts is one of the highlights. It is a perfect spot for preparing the spirit, rather than the stomach, before heading to Koshigoe Swimming Beach.

Tips

It is just a short walk from Koshigoe Station on the Enoden line. The precincts are not large, so you can worship even in a short visit. There is little shade in summer, so do not forget to keep drinking water.
