#fallcolors #100waysoftravel Kamakura has one of the best foliages to be seen, and Engakuji offers one of the best scenery to view the autumn foliages. This temple was established in 1282 by Hojo Tokimune, where Mugaku Sogen was invited to spread Buddhism in Japan in 1279. This temple is also called the temple of Spirit which has survived many turmoils during the tumultous period. During autumn, all leaves transformed colours to red and orange the the view is so breathtaking with the blazing colours at the background. How I wish to visit there again during autumn to witness such a nice scenery.

Address - Kanagawa preference, Kamakura city Yamanouchi 409 Getting there - take bus or train to Kamakura stop Attraction - temples Entrance fees - 500 JPY per person Engaku Ji is one of the travel spot within Kamakura compound.

| Niche beauty, through the ancient temples and natural serenity of Kita-Kamakura. As one of Japan's three ancient capitals, Kamakura is more than just the Shonan Coast and the Great Buddha. In my opinion, Kita-Kamakura is the essence of Kamakura. It's a place full of historical and natural charm, perfect for hiking and visiting ancient sites. · This was my second time in Kamakura, and it happened to be the end of the fall foliage season🍁. I spent an afternoon hiking in Kita-Kamakura, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. So, combining culture, nature, and photo spots, I've put together this hiking guide for you. · 🚶🏻‍♂️Hiking Route Kita-Kamakura Station - Engaku-ji Temple - Meigetsu-in Temple - Kencho-ji Temple - Hansobo - Mount Shichimen Observation Deck - Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine - Komachi-dori Street - Kamakura Station · ⛳Hiking Route Description ✅Kita-Kamakura Station: If you're coming from Tokyo, I recommend getting off at Kita-Kamakura Station instead of Kamakura Station so you don't have to backtrack. The station is small, but the houses along the railway have a quiet, Japanese garden atmosphere. ✅Engaku-ji Temple: Only a 3-minute walk from Kita-Kamakura Station. It's said that Kawabata Yasunari's "Thousand Cranes" was set here. Engaku-ji Temple, built in 1282, is a typical Song Dynasty-style temple. The Shariden (reliquary hall) is a classic Zen-style building and the only national treasure building in Kamakura. Although the Buddha hall is newly built, the Shakyamuni Buddha inside dates back to the Kamakura period. ✅Meigetsu-in Temple: About a 10-minute walk from Engaku-ji Temple. Meigetsu-in Temple is famous for its hydrangeas and is known as the "Hydrangea Temple." The round window of the main hall is a popular photo spot, offering a view of the courtyard's changing beauty throughout the seasons. Unfortunately, the temple was not open when I went, so I plan to visit again during the hydrangea season. ✅Kencho-ji Temple: A 15-minute walk from Meigetsu-in Temple. Kencho-ji Temple and the mountain forest behind it are the essence of hiking in Kita-Kamakura. Built in 1253, Kencho-ji Temple is the head of the Kamakura Gozan (Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura) and also features a typical Song Dynasty-style. The most noteworthy ancient building in the temple is the Sanmon gate, one of the largest wooden temple gates in Japan. In addition, the temple also has an exquisite Karamon gate, meaning "Chinese-style gable," with black and gold decorations, which is very ornate. ✅Hansobo and Mount Shichimen Observation Deck: Located on the mountain behind Kencho-ji Temple. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Kencho-ji Temple to Hansobo, and about 10 minutes from Hansobo to the Mount Shichimen Observation Deck. Hansobo is named after a half-monk, half-layman practitioner. From here, you can overlook Kencho-ji Temple and the Shonan Coast. The autumn leaves at sunset are quite stunning, and the observation deck next to it offers a distant view of Mount Fuji. Personally, I don't think the Mount Shichimen Observation Deck at the top of the mountain is as beautiful as Hansobo, as there is more vegetation blocking the view. This is also a fork in the road where you can either return the same way or continue along the Tenen Hiking Trail and descend from Zuisen-ji Temple. ✅Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine: About a 15-minute walk from Kencho-ji Temple. This is Kamakura's symbolic shrine, dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war, and is one of Japan's three great Hachiman shrines. During the cherry blossom season, there's a famous Dankazura cherry blossom tunnel to photograph. ✅Komachi-dori Street: A must-visit shopping street. After your hike, it's a great place to buy some local Kamakura souvenirs. ✅Kamakura Station: From here, you can return to Tokyo or continue to explore the Shonan Coast.

[A moment of meditation and immersion in the world of Akutagawa literature at Engakuji Temple in Kita-Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture] On this day, I wanted to immerse myself in the atmosphere of a dimension and time-space beyond the reach of secular human words, so I left the ticket gate at Kita-Kamakura Station and climbed the stairs of Engakuji Temple, which was located nearby. The temple grounds were founded in 1282 during the late Kamakura period by Zen master Mugai Sogen, who was invited from China during the Song Dynasty by Hojo Tokimune. The temple grounds contain a cave where the Zen master is said to have stayed, and spiders now make their home there. I climbed all the way to the top of Kobai-in Temple, then slowly descended to view each hall and garden. It started to rain on the way, and a series of large spider webs appeared, wet with rain and dew. Akutagawa Ryunosuke's "The Spider's Thread" is a moral novel that teaches the importance of altruism, but when you look at the strength of the threads and the functional metallic beauty of the independent orb spider's web, you can also project the ideal of an independent life in which one can choose one's own place to live, eat one's own food, and spin a web with one's own efforts. I meditated for a while before my usual yoga in the two contrasting atmospheres of the Kojirin and Butsuden halls, which are open regardless of the day or time of the Zen meditation meeting, and was grateful to find Song Dynasty culture in the dragon ceiling painting in the Butsuden hall, the golden beauty of the principal image, and the footwear of the monks, before heading home. 🕌Engakuji Temple, the main temple of the Rinzai sect 💰Price per person: 500 yen admission fee 🕰️Business hours: 8:30AM-4PM 📍Location: 409 Yamanouchi, Kamakura, Kanagawa 247-0062 🍵🍡Benten Chaya, full business from April 💰Price per person: 500-1600 yen 🕰️Pre-opening business days ・Business days in March 3rd (Mon), 4th (Tue), 6th (Thu), 7th (Fri), 11th (Tue), 13th (Thu), 14th (Fri), 18th (Tue), 20th (Thu, holiday), 21st (Fri), 25th (Tue), 27th (Thu), 28th (Fri), 29th (Sat) 🕰️Business hours: 9:00-16:00 Recommended nearby spots #Travel in Asia 🕌Tokeiji Temple #seasonal places in Japan #Kita-Kamakura #Kamakura #Kamakura cafe #Japan travel #japan #tourism #tourism #temple yoga #meditation spot

In the late Kamakura period, in the 5th year of Koan (1282), Engakuji Temple was founded by Zen Master Mugaku Sogen, who was invited from the Song Dynasty in China by the regent Tokimune Hojo. Tokimune, who became regent at the age of 18, was deeply devoted to Zen Buddhism under the guidance of Zen Master Mugaku Sogen. He established Engakuji Temple with the wishes of protecting the nation, spreading Zen, and equally mourning the war dead from the Mongol invasions, regardless of friend or foe. For those coming by train From Tokyo/Yokohama: 1-minute walk from JR Yokosuka Line "Kita-Kamakura Station".

In 1282, Hojo Tokimune built the temple to commemorate and worship the Mongolian spirits who died during the Mongol invasions of Japan, and invited the great master Mugaku Sogen from Mongolia to preside over its founding. It is one of Japan's very famous sightseeing and worship temples.

#thingstodo Short few minutes walk from Kita Kamakura station. This amazing zen temple is build into the mountains and forest.
