This is definitely a spring time of year place. If you go to early there won’t be much. But still cool to learn about the history and cave carving/statues

Usually not listed as one of the main attractions of Kamakura this was very much the highlight for me. The garden is absolutely stunning and is a sight to behold, check the photos or go yourself if you have the chance. Despite going on a weekend with great weather it really wasn't crowded at all, which was great

Nice walk to the temple from Kita Kamakura station. The temple entry is 500 yen, with the expectations that you are lucky to go at the right time. The brochure provided lets you know the types of seasonal flowers that you will experience throughout the walk in the temple. Unfortunately, I was unlock and was in between everything. However, I can see this place being extremely beautiful during cherry blossom, spring or late autumn fall. Think the lucky highlight for us who miss the inbetween seasons of flowers is the room that pans out to a window garden. What a shot for photographers. Strong advice... do your flower season research before coming here.

Pretty garden and serene temple. Although the place is not too big but it's very well maintained and has a very cute garden and rabbit & the hare statue. You might only need to spend 1 hr in the area

The temple was bigger than what i expect. The flower garden was very beautiful with some temple building and zen garden. It even has trekking trail to climb the mountain too. Unfortunately it was raining hard when i came. The street was slippery and i can't take photos without umbrella which make the background unseen. Was waiting for a bit but there was no sign of the rain stopping. Enterance fee was 500 yen.
