称名寺

今泉不動

Shomyo-ji and Imaizumi-fudo are located near Imaizumi-fudo Bus Stop, which is 20 minutes from Ofuna Station. It is just the back side of Kita-Kamakura station, but there is a hill between Kita-Kamakura and Imaizumi, so they’re using Ōfuna Station.

It is inconvenient to place and Shomyo-ji and Imaizumi-fudo is not so big temple, so there are few people going there. I don’t recommend especially going, but if you have a chance to go to Sanzaigaike (aka Kamakura-ko), it is a good idea to go to Shomyo-ji and Imaizumi-fudo.

Going up the hill and entering the precinct, there is a statue of Seishimaru, the childhood name of Honen Shonin who opened Jodo-shu.

Passing the Hondo which is in renovation, going up the stairs, there is Imaizumi-fudo. If you’re going down to the right side, there is a waterfall named Onmyo no Taki. There are two falls, which are greater than expected.

今泉不動

Back from the waterfalls, going up the stairs covered with moss, there is Imaizumi-fudo. There is a statue of thirty-six children and Dainiti-Nyorai.

There are many attractions and a quiet and nice place.
