The approach to Enkakuji Temple,Kamakura

View of the Enkakuji Temple entrance area from the site of present-day Kita-Kamakura Station. There are two gates facing the street in front of the temple. The one in the background is the southeast gate. The temple is on the other side of the bridge. A horse road passes behind the mound on the right. It is possible that commoners were forbidden to use this gate during the Edo Period. The rickshaw in the centre seems to be an early model, indicating that this photograph was taken at the beginning of the Meiji Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number86‐8‐0]

This may be the main gate at Enkakuji Temple. In the main gate of Enkakuji, a plaque with the word Zuirokuzan by Emperor Gokogen is placed, and in the right rear is a spring called Hannyasui, which is one of the five famous waters of Kamakura. The origin of the name is the legend of a discourse about Hannya (prajna) between the priest Seikutsu and Matsudaira Fumai, lord of the Izumo Clan.==Date:unknown, Place:Kamakura, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number16‐43‐0]
