Hase-dera

Kamakura


The focal point of this J艒do sect temple, one of the most popular in the Kant艒 region, is a 9m-high carved wooden 箩奴颈肠丑颈尘别苍 (11-faced) Kannon statue. Kannon (avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit) is the Bodhisattva of infinite compassion and, along with Jiz艒, is one of Japan's most popular Buddhist deities. The temple is about 10 minutes' walk from the Daibutsu and dates back to AD 736, when the statue is said to have washed up on the shore near Kamakura.

The temple grounds afford sweeping sea views across the low-rise beach community of Hase. You can also duck through several caves here.
