Remains of Hokkedo Temple (Tombs of Minamoto no Yoritomo and Hojo Yoshitoki)
Ruins located in Nishi Mikado, Kamakura City. These are the remnants of Jibutsudo (Hokkedo), a hall memorializing Minamoto no Yoritomo—who founded the Kamakura shogunate—and Hojo Yoshitoki—the second Hojo shikken. The hall was destroyed during the haibutsu kishaku of the Meiji period, and currently standing are the stone tower said to be the grave of Minamoto no Yoritomo, and the Nishi Mikado Shirahata Shrine. They are Nationally Designated Ruins.
