Eisho-ji Temple

In 1636 Lady Eisho (nee Katchi no Tsubone) established this Jodo sect nunnery. She was the great, great granddaughter of Dokan Ota (father of Tokyo) and also a mistress of Ieyasu Tokugawa. Her tomb [d.1647] as well as the graves of former abbesses are in the cemetery on the side of the cliff. The temple is widely known for its camellias and plum trees as well as for its elegant halls in Kamakura era style.
