Zuisen-ji is a beautiful Zen temple located in the eastern hills of Kamakura. Designed by the prominent Zen monk, poet, and garden designer Musō Kokushi (1275–1351), the temple is situated halfway up a mountain in a secluded setting and is celebrated for both its traditional garden and its Zen rock garden. The abundance and beauty of its seasonal flowers have earned it the affectionate nickname “Temple of Flowers” since ancient times.
