Honryu-ji Temple
鎌倉市腰越２丁目２６−２
A Nichiren sect temple located in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, with the mountain name Ryu-kuzan (Dragon Mouth Mountain). Its principal object of worship is the Dai Mandala (Great Mandala), and it is one of the eight temples in the Ryukoji Ronban Hakkashi (Ryukoji Rotating Eight Temples) group.
History
This Nichiren sect temple was founded in 1302 by Myonin-bo Nikko Shonin. It is said to have been built on the site of the former residence of Hiki Takaya, whose grave remains within the temple grounds. Until the Edo period, the temple was known by the mountain name Yoren-zan, but it was renamed Ryu-kuzan as part of its designation as one of the Ryukoji Rotating Eight Temples.

What visitors say
Under the eaves of the main hall, there are magnificent wooden carvings of dragons, which are unique in their abundance compared to other sites. Visitors can also enjoy carvings of frogs and praying mantises. The temple grounds are rich in flowers, creating a beautiful environment with white ancient cherry trees and other plants. The staff at the Goshuin (shrine seal stamp) and Oshutai (memorial tablet) reception desk provide very kind and attentive service.
