Houkaiji Temple
鎌倉市小町３丁目５−２２
A Tendai sect temple located in Komachi, Kamakura City, known as a famous spot for bush clover and often called the 'Bush Clover Temple.' It is traditionally said to be the site of the former residence of the Hojo regents.
History
It is said to have been established by Emperor Go-Daigo to console the spirit of Hojo Takatoki. However, the actual construction is presumed to have been carried out by Ashikaga Takauji and others after the death of Emperor Go-Daigo. In 1354, the second abbot, Ichiken, performed the first initiation ceremony (Kanjō).
