[Manju-ji Temple]

A temple of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism, founded in 1306, it was once counted as one of the Five Mountains and Ten Temples of Zen.

It is a temple of training where monks live and train.

The large mountain gate is stately, and the grounds are spacious, with the main hall, kitchen, Buddha hall, Zen hall, sutra repository, Kannon hall, and more.

The Kunisaki Tower is a city-designated tangible cultural property.

It is a sight of great historical value from the Kamakura period.

If you have the time, please come✨

I visited in early summer, but the cherry blossoms are said to be beautiful in spring, so I recommend visiting in spring as well🌸
