The garden is a French-style garden, and its beauty is displayed to visitors when the building is open to the public in spring and autumn.

It is located in Momijigayatsu, Kamakura. The autumn foliage covering the surrounding mountains creates a breathtaking scene reminiscent of a brocade folding screen. The rock garden, designed by Master Mus\u014d himself, beautifully embodies the harmony between Zen philosophy and natural beauty. During the Edo period, Tokugawa Mitsukuni reconstructed the temple, making it a center of culture. In particular, the sight of plum blossoms in early spring continues to captivate visitors.","spot_list_item__catch_10":"Protective Powers Beneath a Thatched Roof: Timeless Esoteric Prayers","spot_list_item__img_10":6603,"spot_list_item__text_10":"My\u014d\u014d-in (\u660e\u738b\u9662), founded in the early 13th century by Fujiwara no Yoritsune (\u85e4\u539f\u983c\u7d4c), the fourth shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, is a historic temple with deep spiritual significance. It was established as a prayer site to ward off misfortune from the northeastern direction (the \"demon gate\"). The thatched-roof main hall enshrines the Five Great Wisdom Kings, with Fud\u014d My\u014d\u014d (\u4e0d\u52d5\u660e\u738b) at the center, embodying the blend of Kamakura-period art and faith. On the 28th of each month, a rare opportunity arises as the usually hidden statues are revealed during a sacred fire ritual (goma ceremony).
