History

Myochoji is a Nichiren sect temple nestled in Zaimokuza, Kamakura. It was founded long ago and is a place that exudes historical weight. The sound of the bell echoing in the quiet grounds calms the hearts of visitors. It is said that this temple brings benefits of good fortune and exorcism, family safety, and fulfillment of wishes. I also enjoy lingering for a while in its solemn atmosphere.
