Taya Caves
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 hours - admission not included


Taya Caves, a hidden treasure of Buddhist artistry, can be found nestled within the precincts of Josen-ji Temple near Kamakura. Within the caves, you'll encounter representations of Buddhist deities, revered figures from Buddhist history, renowned temples, mythical creatures, mandalas, zodiac symbols, and family crests. These caves were meticulously excavated and sculpted by devoted Shingon Buddhist monks during a span extending from the Kamakura period (1192-1333) to the Edo period (1603-1868). Their origins date back to the 13th century when the inaugural shogun established his rule in nearby Kamakura. Upon arriving at Josen-ji, you'll receive a candle, which you can light from the entrance candle inside the caves. To access the caves, an entrance fee of approximately 400 yen is required at Josen-ji Temple. Taya Caves are open from 9AM to 4PM daily.
