Zui-ji (Zui-ji Temple)
鎌倉市二階堂７１０
A temple of the Rinzai sect, Engaku-ji branch, known as a 'Temple of Flowers' for its garden, which is considered the origin of the shoin-zukuri (study-style) garden created by Muso Soseki, and for the flowers that bloom in each of the four seasons.
History
Founded in 1327 by the shogunal retainer Nikaido Do'in, with Muso Soseki serving as the founding priest. Ashikaga Mochiuze later supported the temple, leading to its revival and the change of its name to Zui-ji. Since then, it has served as the ancestral temple for the Ashikaga family, the shoguns of Kamakura.

What visitors say
Features a nationally designated place of scenic beauty, a garden designed by Muso Soseki, offering sculptural rock arrangements, seasonal flowers, and autumn foliage. The temple grounds are spacious, and a portion of Mount Fuji can be seen from the rest area. Because the temple is located away from the station, there are few visitors, providing a quiet and calm atmosphere for appreciating the garden.
