• Meigetsuin (Hydrangea Temple) - Meigetsuin Temple (明月院), a Rinzai Zen Sect temple founded in 1160 in Kamakura, is also known as Ajisaidera (“Hydrangea Temple”) due to the abundance of hydrangeas blooming on its grounds during the rainy season in June. 95% of these are the Hime Ajisai (“Princess Hydrangea”) variety, named for their lovely blue hues.

Originally built as a memorial by a son for his father who perished in the Taira and Minamoto clans’ power struggle in the late Heian Period, it later became part of the larger Zenkoji temple complex. This complex was dissolved during anti-Buddhist movements after the Meiji Restoration, leaving Meigetsuin as a standalone temple today.

• Kencho-ji Temple - Kenchoji (建長寺, Kenchōji) is the foremost of Kamakura’s five great Zen temples. Founded by regent Hojo Tokiyori in 1253 during the Kencho Era, it is the oldest Zen temple in Kamakura. Its first head priest was Rankei Doryu, a Zen priest from China.

Though smaller than in its prime, Kenchoji still features numerous temple buildings and subtemples, extending from the entrance gate at the valley’s base into the forested hills. After passing through the Sanmon main gate, visitors will find Kenchoji’s temple bell (Bonsho), a national treasure, on their right.
