Tōkei-ji

Matsugaoka Tōkei-ji (松岡山東慶寺), also known as Kakekomi-dera (駆け込み寺) or Enkiri-dera (縁切り寺), is a Buddhist temple and a former vihāra, the only survivor of a network of five nunneries called Amagozan (尼五山) ("Nuns of the Five Mountains"), in the city of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is part of the Rinzai school of Zen's Engaku-ji branch, and was opened by Hōjō Sadatoki and founding abbess Kakusan-ni in 1285. It is best known as a historic refuge for women abused by their husbands. It is for this reason sometimes referred to as the "Divorce Temple".
