This small, thatched Buddhist temple is the oldest in Kamakura, having been founded in 734. Inside are three statues of Jūichimen Kannon (the eleven-faced goddess of forgiveness), over a thousand years old. The temple's fame is great: legend has it that the statues escaped a fire in 1189 by taking shelter behind a giant tree. Today, the temple is best known as the first temple in the pilgrimage of the thirty-three Bandō temples, a succession of temples in eastern Japan dedicated to Kannon.
