Kaizoji Cave with Shinto Torii Gate - It is not unusualy for Buddhist temples in Japan to have remnants of the original original Shinto within its grounds. Though the two faiths are quite different, they sometimes merge in unusual ways. Behind the main hall Ryugoden at Kaizoji there are caves and wells. Because much of the water in Kamakura was once of low quality, these wells were very precious. Some of the caves contain statues of Kannon Bosatsu as well as the wells themselves.
