Hello, fellow travel lovers!
This time, I visited Eisho-ji Temple in Kamakura!
Surprisingly, this is the only surviving nunnery in Kamakura, known for blessings related to the protection of women, family safety, and safe childbirth.
Hearing that, I thought, 'I have to visit!' and made my way over.
As soon as you enter the grounds, there’s a small reception desk. Here, you pay the admission fee and receive a visitor’s guide!
The guide includes a summary of the temple's history and highlights, making me feel like a true 'temple visit master' (haha).
As I proceeded to the main hall, I noticed a small door.
Gently opening the door, a small offering box appeared.
The usual practice here is to offer a coin and pay respects to the Golden Amida Triad from outside the small door.
The golden glow gave me a bit of a power boost, leaving me feeling refreshed and clear-headed!
And above all, the bamboo grove and moss garden are absolutely wonderful!
There’s a small path through the bamboo grove, and just walking along it brings a gentle sense of relaxation.
The sound of bamboo swaying in the wind, the moss-covered stone path… it feels like a whole different world!
I found myself lost in thought, momentarily forgetting reality (haha).
The journey continues... Wishing you all a wonderful trip! – TabiJun
