The Third Temple of Kamakura's Five Great Rinzai Temples
where Hojo Masako is Interred.
Eisai was a very prominent Buddhist monk who twice visited
Song Dynasty China. He is famous for introducing tea to
Japan. Since he preached Zen Buddhism, Eisai faced violent
opposition from the powerful Tendaishu sect at Enryakuji
Temple on Mt. Hiei in Kyoto. At age 59, Eisai left Kyoto for
Kamakura and was welcomed by Minamoto no Yoriie, Hojo Masako
and Minamoto no Sanetomo. The stone approach continues from
the sammon gate to the chumon gate. Visitors are allowed to
enter as far as the chumon gate.
