The Benten-kutsu is a cave located near the Benten-do, a hall dedicated to Benten, the God of water, speech, and music. The cave is a little creepy with its wall carvings and lack of natural light... But, it is totally worth passing through even if it means ducking a few times.
Hase-dera is a Jodo (Pure Land) temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa with beautiful views of the beach and sea. Established in the 700's, Hase-dera was originally a Tendai temple founded by Tokudo Shonin. Tokudo is said to have been responsible for creating the large wooden Kannon which resides inside Hase-dera's Kannon-do. It is the largest wooden statue in Japan. The twin statue, also created by Tokudo (carved from the same tree) is located in Nara.
