​「宝庵」の「宝」は、浄智寺の山号「金宝山-きんぽうざん-」から一字をいただきました。
​浄智寺山門の扁額にある禅語『寳所在近』にもちなんでいます。

Built in 1934.
Houan features a sukiya tea house with eight- mat and four-mat tea rooms surrounded by a roji-style dry garden, a separate hut with rush roof enclosing a one-mat tea room, and well with fresh "honeydew" sweet water.
Even in Japan, places like this have become a rarity.

Houan is more than just a space for learning the way of tea;
workshops teaching traditional Japanese arts, off-site meetings & corporate training, interacting with guests from abroad, practicing zen meditation and mindfulness away from the bustle of the city,

exhibiting artwork or giving presentations. photo sessions. gatherings with friends, And more!

One hour out of Tokyo in Kita-Kamakura, in the forested valley behind Jochiji Temple. Come join us in breathing life back into one of our area's great architectural treasures. We welcome your participation and ideas.
