Exploring Secret Temple in Kamakura, Japan | Nature Sounds for Sleep, ASMR

Temple, bamboo forest, flowing water, autumn leaves, rainy weather, the sound of wind, rustling leaves, and birdsong—these elements come together to create this video. During my trip to Kamakura, the weather suddenly turned cloudy.

By the time I arrived at Hokokuji Temple, I found myself deeply immersed in this atmosphere. There was a solitary beauty surrounding me—a feeling of wanting to return to the warmth of home, yet my body remained still in this place. I hope the combination of my video and the recorded stereo sound allows you to feel the same. It’s perfect for watching while resting, sleeping, working, or studying.

A statue of Gautama Buddha, called Shaka Nyorai in Japanese, in a sacred hall is the temple's principal image.The original of a statue of Sho Kan'non is on display at the Kamakura Museum of National Treasures.The temple is sometimes called Takuma-dera after the artist of a statue of Kashyap which was destroyed by a fire in 1891 in an adjacent hall.
