Tokeiji

Tokei-ji Temple was renovated in 1285 by Kakusanni, the wife of Hojo Tokimune, the 8th ruler of the Kamakura shogunate. The main Buddha is the seated statue of Taika Nyorai, which is enshrined in the main hall established in 1935. In addition, it is said that there is a half-hoofed statue of Suizuki Kannon Bodhisattva, a designated cultural property of Kamakura Prefecture made in the 13th century. Tokei-ji Temple has been famous since ancient times as a temple that severed the relationship between women and their husbands. . Women who pray to sever ties with their husbands can choose to divorce by agreement. In cases where it is difficult to decide, they can choose to work as servants in the temple for 3 years, even if they completely sever ties with their husbands.
