Know before you go

Visit in bloom seasons—spring for crabapple and plum, early summer for mountain hydrangeas—if you want Kōsoku-ji at its most photogenic.
Kōsoku-ji is a Nichiren Buddhist temple founded in the late 13th century by Nichirō, a direct disciple of Nichiren.
If you're planning a quiet visit, avoid local festival days in Kamakura; the city hosts 100+ seasonal events, especially many in January.
The temple stands on the former residence site of Yadoya Mitsunori, linking it to Kamakura-period local history.
Kōsoku-ji is nicknamed the 'Flower Temple' for its seasonal blooms, especially flowering crabapple, plum blossoms, and mountain hydrangeas.
