    Kanagawa Yokohama-shi Nishi-ku Miyazakicho 30
    "This Buddhist temple is located right next to Yokohama Civic Art Gallery midway between Hinodecho Station and Sakuragicho Station. The temple's principal object of worship is a statue of Acala; a ""hidden Buddha"" (a Buddhist statue not normally made viewable to the general public), the statue once belonged to the Tokugawa clan and was a gift of Shohan, a Buddhist monk who brought about a restoration of the temple. The sculpture is believed to be the work of the monk Shobo. In addition, area adherents to the Naritasan Fudoson Temple in Osaka began gathering here after the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce Between the United States and the Empire of Japan, and this temple was the first to be established as a place from which to pray to the Naritasan Fudoson Temple from afar. The temple performs homa consecrated fire rituals and Acala seal mark blessing ceremonies. In addition, the temple also holds a grand homa ceremony in January. Additionally, visitors can purchase various omamori charms and cell phone straps depicting the Seven Gods of Fortune."

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
