History
What I will tell you about is Myōhōji (Yamazaki), which stands in the land of Kamakura. This temple has gathered people's faith since ancient times and is said to have benefits for good luck, fulfillment of all wishes, and family safety. The trees in the serene precincts make one feel the eternal history. By quietly praying for the wishes hidden in one's heart, the Buddha will hear those prayers and open the way. It is also good to quietly reflect on one's own future amidst the tranquility of ancient Kamakura.
