▶️Temple The sliding doors and ceiling paintings are wonderful

A temple associated with Minamoto no Yoshitsune

This is the temple where Yoshitsune stayed and wrote a letter before entering Kamakura to reconcile with his brother, Yoritomo.

▶️In front of the main hall, there are stone statues of Yoshitsune and Benkei, and they are engraved with "Yoshitsune Koshigoe-jo".

When you go up to the right after entering the entrance, there are several rooms
where the sliding door paintings depicting Yoshitsune's life are beautifully painted.

▶️The dragon painting on the ceiling is also wonderful, and there are plenty of things to see, such as the ceiling painting of the family crest and Kamakura carvings.
