Jochi-ji (Jochi Temple)
Jochi-ji (Jochi Temple) Review
In the Five Mountains hierarchy, Jochi-ji was ranked fourth. The buildings now in the temple complex are reconstructions; the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 destroyed the originals. The garden here is exquisite. Jochi Temple is on the south side of the railway tracks, a few minutes' walk farther southwest of Tokei Temple in the direction of Kamakura.
- Address: Turn right off the main road (Rte. 21) and cross over a small bridge; a flight of moss-covered steps leads up to the temple., 1402 Yama-no-uchi, Kita-Kamakura, Kamakura, 247-0062
- Phone: 0467/22-3943
- Cost: ¥200
- Hours: Daily 9--4:30
