This temple is the number three temple of Kamakura's five great Zen temples. The founding priest was Eisai, the man who introduced Zen Buddhism to Japan. The walkway leading towards the temple is open, but the rest of the temple is not regularly open to the public.

So much wonderful stuff I missed!
I have not visited here. Thanks for sharing.
I read a little on Eisai - I didn't know Zen Buddhism in Japan was so 'new'!
