[Kanagawa Prefecture🇯🇵Kenchoji Temple] Japan's first Zen Buddhist temple ☺️

#FuriTabi Kenchoji Temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture It is the first temple in Japan to specialize in Zen Buddhism. The layout of the buildings is Chinese style. It is a national important cultural property☺️ It was amazing to see the magnificent decorations in the spacious grounds. The air was clear and relaxing. The Sanmon Gate, Butsuden, and Lecture Hall were very impressive, and the temple bell, one of the three famous bells in Kamakura and a national treasure, also had a strong presence. Kenchoji Temple is far from the station, so it takes about 15 minutes to walk, but there are many temples in the area, so it is recommended to take a stroll there☺️ If you are interested, please go and check it out. ————————————————————————— 📍Location: Yamanouchi 8, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture 15 minutes walk from Kita-Kamakura Station 🕰️Visiting hours: 8:30am - 4:30pm 💰Price per person: ¥500
