Jōkō Myōji (Joko Myoji Temple)
鎌倉市扇ガ谷２丁目１２−１
A Shingon sect temple of the Izuyoji branch located in Ogiya, Kamakura City, with deep historical ties to the Hojo and Ashikaga clans. The temple landscape from the medieval period is well preserved, and it houses important cultural properties designated by the national government, such as the Amida Sanzon (Three Amida Statues).
History
Founded around 1251 CE (Kencho 3) by Hojo Tokiyori and Hojo Nagatoki. Nagatoki was buried at Jōkō Myōji, which subsequently became the funerary temple for the Akabashi branch of the Hojo clan. During the Muromachi period, it received donations from the Ashikaga clan and became the funerary temple for the Kamakura Shoguns.
