History

Byakko

Eisho-ji Temple is a historic nunnery founded by Eisho-in, a consort of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Within its vast grounds, many beautiful gardens and historical structures remain. In particular, the moss-covered stone steps and the serene atmosphere provide deep tranquility to visitors. It is said to bring blessings of family safety, good luck, and exorcism, and many people offer their prayers. It has the charm of a hidden village in Kamakura, a place that makes one forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a tranquil space where history and nature harmonize.
