History
Nen Saiji, rooted in Kamakura, is an ancient temple enveloped in a serene atmosphere. For a long time, this temple has been a spiritual refuge for local people, bestowing blessings for ancestral memorial services, family safety, and exorcism. I feel my heart cleansed by the scent of incense wafting from the main hall and the sound of sutras softly echoing. The appearance that evokes history and the warm smile of the chief priest kindly welcome visitors. It is a place of deep spiritual resonance.
