More information on Hokai-ji Temple
In honor of the Hojo family and especially to appease Takatoki's ghost, Emperor Go-Daigo established this Tendai-sect temple in 1335. Documents tell us that a Chinese ship transported the figures on the altar - Teishaku, Benten and Jizo - to Japan in the same year. Note that Takatoki's grave is in the Harakiri-yagura (ritual suicide cave) located in back of Hokai-ji. Inscriptions on a pillar give details relating to the deaths of 870 members of the Hojo clan, a calamity that took place here.
