*''Japanese'': 東勝寺 ''(Toushouji)''
Tôshô-ji was the family temple of the [[Hojo clan|Hôjô clan]] in [[Kamakura]].
It was established in the early 13th century by [[Hojo Takatoki|Hôjô Takatoki]], but was destroyed in the [[1333]] [[siege of Kamakura]].
The temple was rebuilt soon afterwards, and is said to have become third among the top ten temples in the [[Kanto|Kantô]]. But sometime in the [[Sengoku period]], the temple was abandoned and allowed to fall into ruin. The site is today fenced off, as a historical/archaeological site.
