What other travelers are saying about Hasedera Temple, Kamakura
行ってきました〜！
神奈川県・鎌倉の『長谷寺』さんにおじゃましました⛩️🌿
海と街を一望できる高台に建つお寺で、観音様と四季の花々に癒される素敵なスポットだったよ☺️
まず圧倒されるのは本尊の十一面観世音菩薩像🙏✨
木造の仏像としては日本最大級で、高さ約9mの迫力！やさしいお顔を見ていると自然と心が落ち着いていくんだ。
境内は「花の寺」と呼ばれるだけあって、あじさい、梅、桜、紅葉など四季ごとに彩りが変わるのが魅力🌸🍁
特に初夏のあじさいは有名で、斜面に咲き誇る色とりどりの花と、遠くに広がる由比ヶ浜の景色のコントラストは本当に絶景！
観音堂から眺める由比ヶ浜の海は、晴れた日はキラキラ輝いていてまるで絵画みたい🌊
散策路には洞窟「弁天窟」や小さなお地蔵さんもいて、歩くだけで癒されるよ。
お寺の魅力はね、自然と歴史、そして海の絶景が一度に楽しめるところ。
観光でも、のんびり心を整える場所としてもおすすめだった✨

I visited Hase-dera Temple in Kamakura, famous for its 9-meter-tall wooden statue of Kannon.
Known as the “Temple of Flowers,” it’s stunning in every season, especially with hydrangeas in early summer overlooking Yuigahama Beach.
With its serene caves, gardens, and ocean views, it’s a perfect blend of nature, history, and spirituality in Kamakura.
長谷寺の紅葉ライトアップは、まるで絵巻物の中に迷い込んだような美しさでした。境内全体が紅葉に包まれ、灯りに照らされた回廊や本堂が幻想的な雰囲気を醸し出していました。静かな夜に、朱色の葉が風に揺れる音まで心に響き、まさに“秋の祈り”を感じる時間でした。写真以上に、五感で味わう価値のある絶景です。
The autumn illumination at Hasedera Temple in Nara was absolutely magical. The entire temple grounds were wrapped in vibrant foliage, and the softly lit corridors and main hall created a dreamlike atmosphere. On that quiet night, even the rustling of crimson leaves in the breeze felt sacred—like a silent prayer of autumn. It’s a breathtaking experience that goes far beyond what photos can capture.
Hasedera Temple is known for housing one of the largest wooden statues in Japan, the eleven-headed statue of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, which stands at approximately 9.18 meters tall.
Hasedera Temple is located in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is situated on a hillside overlooking the coastal city, providing visitors with scenic views.
Unique features of Hasedera Temple include its beautiful gardens, a cave with Buddhist carvings known as Benten-kutsu Cave, and the Amida-do Hall which houses an impressive golden statue of Amida Buddha.
Hasedera Temple was founded in the Nara period around the year 736 AD. It has a long history and has been an important site for pilgrimage and worship over the centuries.
Hasedera Temple is renowned for its seasonal attractions, especially its hydrangea garden which attracts many visitors during the rainy season in June. The temple grounds are also adorned with cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn.
