Eishō-ji, Buddhist temple in Negishi, Japan.

The temple grounds contain multiple flower gardens, trees, and a bamboo forest with paths leading through contemplative spaces.

Established in 1636 by a former concubine of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the temple served as residence for princesses from Mito Domain who became priestesses.

The temple entrance features a gate with floral motifs incorporated into the temple crest design, reflecting its status as the only nunnery in Kamakura.

The temple maintains its original location at coordinates 35.723278, 139.781306, accessible through local transportation networks in the Negishi area.

Following the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, volunteers reconstructed the damaged temple gate using its original cornerstone, completing restoration in 2011.
