Ankoku Ronji Temple
鎌倉市大町４丁目４−１８ 安国論寺 内
A Nichiren sect temple located on the site of the Matsubagadani grass hut, which served as a base for Nichiren's preaching in Kamakura. The temple grounds feature seated statues of Nichiren and Nichiro, as well as the Myoho cherry tree, a natural monument.
History
This Nichiren sect temple was founded in 1253 CE (Kencho 5). It is said to be located on the site of the Matsubagadani grass hut, which Nichiren used as a base for his preaching in Kamakura. The temple's origins trace back to the construction of the Ankoku Ronkutsu Temple next to the rock cave where his disciple, Nichiro, wrote the Rissho Ankoku Ron (Treatise on Establishing Correctness and Ensuring the Peace of the Nation). In 2016, it was designated as a component cultural property of the Japanese Heritage.

What visitors say
The temple offers a quiet environment away from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing visitors to enjoy the well-maintained grounds and seasonal flowers. There are many stairs within the grounds, and the path to the Fujimi-dai (Fuji Viewpoint) has steep steps, so wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. From the viewing platform, you can see the streets of Kamakura and Mount Fuji, and Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) are also available.
