Welcome to Hasedera, one of Kamakura’s most beloved temples —where Buddhist calm and natural beauty live side by side.
🪷 What Makes Hasedera Special:
The majestic Kannon statue, carved from a single camphor tree — one of the largest wooden Buddhist statues in Japan
The Hydrangea Path (Ajisai Walk) — a hillside trail blooming with color in early summer
Dozens of rakan statues (small Jizo figures), each with a different expression — guardians of children and travelers
🌿 This is not just a temple.
It’s a place where flowers change with the seasons,
where prayers hang in the breeze, and where time feels suspended in the salty air of Kamakura.
