History
Shojoin, quietly nestled in Yamanouchi of the ancient capital Kamakura, has continued to protect a place of serene faith as a substructure of Engakuji. In this place, which makes one feel the weight of history, I hope you will calm your mind and listen to the echoes of ancient times. The goshuin is imbued with the pure energy of this temple and the prayers for good luck, family safety, and fulfillment of wishes for its visitors. I hope you will find new hope in the tranquility.
