Kamakura, Kanagawa / 浄智寺

Jochi-ji Temple

Fourth of the Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura, founded around 1281 to pray for Hojo Munemasa, third son of the fifth regent Hojo Tokiyori. With many monks then arriving from Song China, it once had a full set of seven halls and eleven sub-temples, and its surviving bell-tower gate and main hall show the "Song style" of the time. The grounds are a national historic site reaching up to Tenchuho peak on the Genjiyama hiking course; the film director Ozu Yasujiro and the painter Ogura Yuki lived in the area.
