Engaku-ji is a large Zen temple complex on a wooded hillside near Kita-Kamakura Station. The grounds, which become quieter as you walk up the stone paths, feature mossy gardens, historic halls, and the Ogane Bell, a national treasure. The temple is a peaceful retreat, particularly lovely during the autumn foliage season in early December.
