    The imposing Engaku ji temple is located near Kita Kamakura station. However, once you pass through the beautiful Sanmon Gate, you will find yourself surrounded by tranquility, traditional buildings and nature. It was the second most important Zen temple during the Kamakura Shogunate, surpassed in rank only by Kencho-ji. The Zen temple has now been declared a national heritage site and is therefore the second of the five most powerful temples in the city. The highlights of this complex are the Sanmon Gate, the large ogane (temple bell) cast in 1301, a tea house and the shrine where a tooth of Buddha is kept.
