You can see the cultural assets of temples and shrines in Kamakura
It is located in the grounds of Kamakura Hachimangu Shrine.
It is entrusted with and stores cultural assets such as sculptures, paintings, Buddhist statues, and crafts from temples and shrines in Kamakura.
Some of these important cultural assets are on display.
The Kamakura National Treasure Museum was built to protect cultural assets from natural disasters, learning from the lessons learned from the Great Kanto Earthquake, which destroyed many temples and shrines and lost valuable cultural assets.
It is also a place where you can see many cultural assets at once.
Cultural assets from the Kamakura period were created from the Kamakura period to the Muromachi period (1185-1568), and many of them were influenced by Zen Buddhism.
Many were also created in China (Song and Yuan dynasties) at that time.
No reservation is required.
