History
Founded in 1194 CE by Minamoto no Yoritomo to commemorate the soul of Miura Yoshiaki, who died in battle at the Battle of Kinugasa Castle. Initially a Shingon Buddhist temple named Nōzō-ji, it was later converted to the Jōdo Shū sect by On'a and renamed Raikō-ji.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature the tombs of the Miura clan and a collection of five-ring stupas (gorintō) dedicated to the victims of the Genpei War. The halls are well-maintained, giving the grounds a homely atmosphere. Behind the temple stands a Japanese crape myrtle tree over 300 years old, which blooms for a long period in the summer. It is accessible by a 15- to 20-minute walk from Kamakura Station.
