Take a break at a cafe near Kitakamakura Station

Roastery Cafe VERVE

They have an in-store roaster where you can taste freshly pulled beans.
You can taste coffee that brings out the character of the beans very well.

You can also enjoy tasting the beans sold in the store.
Baked to order, the waffles are crisp and light, a delightful treat for tired bodies.
It is a great way to replenish energy for the next Tianyuan.

Jochiji Temple

In 1386, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu ranked the Zen temples in Kamakura according to the Chinese Song Dynasty’s Gozan system.
The fourth temple in the ranking was Jochi-ji Temple.
The principal image of the temple is a seated statue of Sansei-Butsu, which signifies the past, present, and future.

On the side in front of the main gate is one of the ten wells of Kamakura, the “sweet water well.

This is a view of Jochi-ji Temple.

When I visited the temple, I found the precincts to be surprisingly large and interesting, with a narrow cave through which I went deep into the temple to meet Hotei-sama.
