Hongaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Kanagawa-ku, Japan.

Hongaku-ji Temple features a main building constructed during the Taisho period, with the Ebisu-do shrine displaying bright green and red colors.

The temple grounds, established in 1436 by Ashikaga Mochiuji, originally contained an Ebisu-do that served the Kamakura shogunate's unlucky quarter.

The temple maintains strong connections to the Kamakura Seven Deities of Good Luck, offering visitors the opportunity to collect red stamps during pilgrimages.

Visitors can reach the temple using the Enoshima-Kamakura Freepass, which provides unlimited access to transportation between major tourist locations.

The second chief priest, Niccho Shonin, influenced the temple's alternative name 'Niccho-sama' and received parts of Nichiren's remains from Minobusan.
