Like all other temples in Japan, this is a beautiful and serene place. The dark wood is a contrast to other bright red temples, and the whole just feels more muted and peaceful. Be sure to explore the buildings in the back and the gardens surrounding them. You'll be required to remove your shoes in the back buildings. Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be different.

A large and beautiful temple. It has many scenic and picturesque views and allows for some nice solitude and relaxation. The bus from the Kita-Kamakura is very convenient and probably the easiest way to get there but the walk is also nice.
An incredible place near a beautiful town. First of all, going to Kenchoji from Tokyo is so much fun. And Kenchoji is full of amazingly beautiful temples that you fall in love quickly. It’s like a small neighbourhood with many temples and beautifully designed buildings, doors and stairs. If you walk all the way up to the summit, you can see a unique view of Tokyo and Pacific Ocean. If you go to this place, you can also stop by one of the restaurants/cafes in the town to enjoy delicious Japanese food.
Nice place for a visit. The building is very old, which is lovely. The gardens were not as eye-catching as the other temples, and there are many places you can't enter. There's a room where you can buy practice sheets and try some calligraphy!
One of my favourite temples in the Kamakura area. Easy walk from the quiet and small Kita-kamakura station but the main road is usually packed with traffic so allow time to get there and be careful if you are walking with small children. The grounds are spacious and you can get an excellent view of Mt Fuji from the back of the temple. Well worth allowing at least 2 hours if you want to enjoy the full grounds. Recommend going first thing in the morning to enjoy the tranquility - opens at 8:30am which is later than some other temples in the same area.
