Kakuon-ji Temple was founded by the 9th regent Sadatoki Hojo in 1296 with the hope that another Mongolian invasion wouldn't happen again. During the 8th regency of Tokimune, Mongol tried to invade Japan twice in 1274 & 1281 with failure.In the precinct there is
a sacred hall 'Yakushi-do' which the second regent Yoshitoki built, who got a message from God. I am sorry that I could't show the picture, because it was prohibited from taking pictures in the inner precinct.
A stupa in the front yard
On the surface of the bell there are English words being inscribed.
