Jōchi-ji – A Hidden Zen Gem in Kamakura 🌸

#postandearn #attractive Tucked away in the quiet Kita-Kamakura area, Jōchi-ji is a charming Zen temple that offers a peaceful escape from the busier sites. Founded in the 13th century, it is one of the Five Great Zen Temples of Kamakura, though today it feels intimate and serene. The temple’s wooden gate, covered in moss and framed by greenery, creates a fairytale-like entrance. Inside, the tranquil grounds are filled with stone lanterns, small Buddha statues, and walking paths that invite reflection. Jōchi-ji is especially beautiful in spring, when cherry blossoms add a soft glow, and in autumn, when fiery leaves paint the temple garden. For travelers seeking calm, spirituality, and understated beauty, Jōchi-ji is a must-visit treasure in Kamakura. #postandearn #kamakura #jochiji #japantravel
