► Kencho-ji is a Rinzai Zen Temple located in Kita Kamakura, Kanagawa.
It was founded in 1253, making it the oldest existing Zen monastery in Japan.
This video will take you through the two maingates first, followed by the Butsuden, Buddha Hall and the Hatto, Dharma Hall that features a great dragon-painting on the ceiling. All major public ceremonies are performed in this building.
Finally, the video will show the Hojo mainbuilding that now serves as a simple prayer and meditation room. This is perhaps the least interesting building in terms of looks and architecture. The best thing about it, is probably the terrace on the backside, facing a small garden.
Kencho-ji is the first ranked of zen temples in East Japan, and it's easy to see why.
If you plan on visiting only one temple on your visit to Tokyo, this should be it! - Enjoy!

Although considerably smaller than during its heydays, Kenchoji still consists of a large number of temple buildings and subtemples, and stretches from the entrance gate at the bottom of the valley far into the forested hills behind. After passing through the Sanmon main gate, visitors will see Kenchoji's temple bell (Bonsho), designated a national treasure, on their right.

Япония.Храмы Камакуры. Пионы храма Кэнтё-дзи / Kencho-ji Temple. Kamakura. Japan
Шикарный сад пионов при входе в Kenchoji Temple. Храм Кэнтё-дзи принадлежит школе Дзэн. Он был основан в 1253 году, в 1415 году сгорел, потом горел ещё неоднократно. Но все же в храме сохранились старинные предметы, в частности объявленный национальным достоянием Японии бронзовый колокол, отлитый в 1255 году. Интересны для осмотра основное здание, золотые китайские ворота и изображение пятого правителя периода Камакура — Токиёри Ходзё. Часть территории комплекса, где находится монастырь, в котором проходят обучение буддистские монахи, закрыта для публичного посещения. Но даже для осмотра остальной территории Кэнтё-дзи понадобится много времени. За китайскими воротами Карамон, находиться главный храм Hojo, который также называют Ryuo-den (этот храм был перевезен сюда из храмового комплекса в Киото), а также находящийся за ним сад с маленьким озером. Храм Hojo доступен для посещения. В главном зале этого храма, который носит название Зал Короля Дракона, могут проводить медитации все желающие. Живописная дорожка, слегка поднимаясь, через тростниковый лес, ведет в глубь территории храма к высокому холму на котором стоит синтоистский храм Хансёбё. На крутой лестнице, ведущей к храму, установлены статуи лесных богов - Тэнгу и существ похожих на гоблинов с крыльями и клювом. На самой вершине есть смотровая площадка, откуда в ясные дни открывается потрясающий вид на город Камакура, гору Фудзи-Сан на западе, залив Сагами и острова Идзу на юге. Как только вы ступаете на территорию комплекса, вы попадаете в тишину и покой с каменными фонарями, покрытыми мхом, статуями буддийских богов, пещерами, которые напоминают связь прошлого и настоящего. Кэнтё-дзи первоначально состоял из семи основных зданий и саммонов (врата трех освобождений), но большинство из них были уничтожены в серии пожаров в течение XIV-XV веков. Храмовый комплекс был восстановлен в период Токугава (XVI век), когда сегунат поддерживал буддизм. Одно из зданий было построено на пожертвования со всего региона. Согласно популярной легенде, собрать деньги помогла енотовидная собака, превратившись в монаха, чтобы отплатить за доброту настоятелей храма.

Kamakura (Japan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Kamakura in Japan.
South of Tokyo, on the island Honshu, is the seaport of Kamakura, Japan’s ancient seat of government and is where Shogun Yoritomo, of the Minamoto Clan, left the courtly life of Kyoto in 1192 and built numerous temples and shrines. The Tokei Ji Temple was where women lived as nuns following the death of their husband. The teaching of Zen, imported from China, filled large areas of both cultural and social life. A bridge over a pond leads to the Jochi-Ji Temple that was built within a cypress forest and is one of the five famous temples of Kamakura. Founded in 1282, the Engaku-Ji Monastery teaches the priesthood right up to the present day. Its buildings are typical of Zen design, such as the abbot's residence, sub-temples and tea houses. Within the main hall, Hokan Shaka Nyorai is worshipped. In Japan, the historic Buddha is either seated, standing or prone. Kencho-Ji is the most important of the five Zen monasteries of Kamakura and has been conserved in its original form and function. The second oldest bell in the city, cast in 1255, is one of the temple’s treasures. The buildings are located within a narrow valley, surrounded by wooded slopes where the silence of Zen is palpable. The decline of the region’s rulers was accompanied by violent struggles during which the city was largely destroyed and subsequently returned to being a fishing village.
