[Kanagawa Prefecture] The beautiful inner sanctum of Kamakura: Kaizoji Temple, a temple of flowers and water

Kaizoji Temple is quietly located in the depths of Ogigadani, Kamakura.
The quiet grounds are surrounded by deep greenery,
and the moment you pass through the temple gate, you'll be in another world!

There is a red umbrella in the grounds, which is the symbol of Kaizoji Temple,
and it is a popular photo spot,
and is also used for wedding photography📸

In the Yakushido Hall, there is a statue of Yakushi Nyorai with a Buddha head inside its womb, which was found by following the sound of a baby crying...👀
It is worshiped as the Buddha who protects children's happiness,
and is colored with legends!

There is a large plaque with powerful writing in the main hall,
and the whole place is enveloped in a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

Nearby is a rock cave called "Jurokuido"
There are 16 holes dug inside,
and it is said to be a place where spiritual power resides...! The sound of the water echoed quietly, and it was truly a space of “stillness of water” 💧

※Personally, I found the Buddha surrounded by plants and only his face to be impressive, so I couldn’t help but take a photo 😌
