Jochiji is the number four of Kamakura's five great Zen temples. It is a branch temple of the Engakuji school of the Rikai sect of Zen Buddhism. Its head temple, the Engakuji Temple, can be found just a few hundred meters away on the opposite side of the railway tracks.
Jochiji was founded in 1283 by Hojo Morotoki. Three wooden statues of Nyorai can be viewed in the main hall (Dongeden). At the temple's entrance, one of the ten celebrated wells of Kamakura can be found.
