Kyochika's take

100 of Kenchoji's treasures are displayed for just three days.

Temple treasures, including National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties, are shown to coincide with the airing (kazeire). Engakuji holds its own treasure airing on the same dates, so we'd like to hop between the two temples in Kita-Kamakura.

Entry is until 16:00. Elementary and junior high school students get the special viewing fee free.
