KAMAKURA, KANAGAWA-KEN, JAPAN - 2016/10/30: Joeiji Temple in Kamakura dates to the 13th century. There was an observatory deck on this site built for the founder of Kamakura Shogunate for the view of Yuigahama Beach. Joe-iji is also called Botamochi-dera based on the story that a Botamochi rice ball covered with Azuki bean paste that was responsible for the miracle that saved the life of Nichiren while he was being taken to his execution. Because of this history Joeiji holds a memorial service for Nichiren. The objects of worship here are statues of Priest Nichiren, sacred tablets, and statues of Buddha and Nichiei.
