History

Tokeiji is a Zen temple in Yamanouchi, Kamakura, famous as the 'divorce temple.' During the Edo period, it functioned as a special temple where women could seek separation. Beautiful flowers bloom throughout the seasons, with particularly abundant plum blossoms and hydrangeas drawing many visitors. The serene grounds calm the spirit and give strength to those wishing for a fresh start.
