  鎌倉の奥座敷、由緒正しいお寺で友人のコンサートに行ってきました。都内から1時間半、まるでリゾートを思わせる雰囲気のお寺に古民家を移築したコンサートホール、素晴らしいの一言 1218年、お寺は『覚園寺縁起』によれば、鎌倉幕府2代執権北条義時が建立した大倉薬師堂が覚園寺の起源とされる。建保6年（1218年）、薬師如来の眷属である十二神将のうちの「戌神」が北条義時の夢に現れたことが薬師堂建立の端緒であっ...  more »

  I went to my friend's concert at a historical temple in Okuzashiki, Kamakura. An hour and a half from Tokyo, the concert hall, which relocated an old private house to a temple with a resort-like atmosphere, is a wonderful word 1218, and according to "Kakuenji Ausku", the temple is the origin of The Okura Yakushido, which was built by the Kamakura Shogunate 2nd-generation chief, Hojo Yoshiyoshi. It is said that it was the beginning of the yakushido establishment that "God" of the twelve gods which is the genus of the yakushi Tatrian appeared in the dream at the time of Hojo yoshi. It became a formal temple in the age of the 9th regency Hojo Sadaperiod.

  鎌倉駅から歩けば鎌倉宮を経て３０分ほどかかります。拝観料５００円が必要ですが、本堂や黒地蔵を見学須することをお薦めします。１時間毎にガイドさんとともにグループで巡ります。各所でさまざまな説明を受けながら約１時間かけて見学します。本堂が特に素晴らしく、飾り気のない薬師如来様に見とれてしまいました。  more »

  It takes about 30 minutes to reach Kamakura Shrine on foot from Kamakura Station. A 500 yen fee is required, but it is recommended to visit the main hall and kurojizo. Every hour, we go together with our guides in groups. It takes about an hour to visit the museum while receiving various explanations at various places. The main hall was particularly nice, and i was able to see it like a disfigurement yakushi Buddha.
