本成寺, Buddhist temple in Kamakura, Japan.

Honsho-ji temple stands in Kamakura's eastern district, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and stone pathways.

The temple traces its origins to the Kamakura period when the city served as Japan's political center under the Minamoto shogunate in the 12th century.

Honsho-ji maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions, contributing to the preservation of religious practices in Kamakura's temple network.

Visitors can reach the temple by walking 15 minutes from Kamakura Station's east exit, following the signs through residential streets.

The temple grounds contain multiple stone lanterns and markers that document the evolution of Buddhist sculptural art from the Kamakura period.
