Jōeiji
鎌倉市大町１丁目１２−１１
A Nichiren sect temple located in Ōmachi, Kamakura City, known by the alternate name 'Botamochi-ji (Bean Paste Bun Temple).'
History
A thatched hut that existed since the Kamakura period was established in 1606 CE (Keichō 11) by Nichiyū-ni, with Nichishō Shōnin serving as the founding abbot. It is known as 'Botamochi-ji' due to a legend that a nun who guarded a viewing platform built by Minamoto no Yoritomo on the mountain offered sesame bean paste buns to Nichiren during the Ryūnoguchi persecution. The temple's name is also said to derive from the dharma name 'Myōjō Nichiei' of that nun.
