Koshokuji Temple
鎌倉市十二所７９３
A Jodo Shinshu (Jodo) temple located in Juso, Kamakura City, with the mountain name Iwazosan and the temple name Choshu-in. The main image, the Amitabha Triad, is known as the 'Cheek-Burnt Amitabha.'
History
The temple was relocated to its current site in 1278 CE (Kōan 1). The third abbot devoted himself to the monk Ippen, and the temple was renamed Koshokuji. Although it collapsed during earthquakes in the Genroku and Ansei eras, it has been revived by successive abbots. The main image of Amitabha Buddha is known as the 'Cheek-Burnt Amitabha,' and there is a tradition that it was carved by the sculptor Unkei.

What visitors say
A quiet temple nestled between the mountains, featuring a grand gate that evokes a sense of history. The grounds are not extensive, but the red plum blossoms in front of the main hall and the autumn foliage beside it are meticulously maintained. Numerous stone Buddhas from the Edo period are scattered throughout the grounds. Advance reservations are required to view the main image and the attendant deities.
