Note: This selection of Words-and-Pictures was made on September 8, 2001, as I walked on the Old Tokaido.
Engakuji is located in Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture. Kamakura is a sidetrip off of the Old Tokaido between
Kanagawa (now Yokohama) and
Hodogaya, Stations 3 and 4 (from Tokyo.) You can read about my visit to Engakuji in my
Logbook for that day.
The great main gate
The
hondo (main hall), where I stood...
...before the Buddha and...
...said my prayers. (Tom took the picture; he and Yuka were amused by the looks I got as I chanted in bad Japanese.)
This monk helped us find the stamp office.
Three shots...
...of Engakuji's...
...magnificent atmosphere.
Here's a
Wikipedia article about Engakuji.
