"Tokeiji" in Kita-Kamakura is famous as a "temple for refuge" and a "temple for refuge".

In 1285, when women could not divorce their wives unless they received a divorce letter from their husbands, this temple has been passed down for nearly 600 years as a temple for women to escape to and get divorced.

The temple grounds include a garden with plum blossoms, irises, hydrangeas, and more.

The air is clear and the temple is very calming.
