At a Glance
During the Muromachi period, Zuisen-ji served as the family temple of the Ashikaga rulers of Kamakura.
Zuisen-ji was founded in 1327 by Musō Soseki, the celebrated Zen monk, poet, and garden designer also called Musō Kokushi.

Facilities
Plan extra time for garden viewing: Zuisen-ji is especially known for seasonal flowers and its carved rock garden, so a slow walk suits the site better than a quick stop.
Expect a quiet, contemplative visit: the temple sits in Kamakura's eastern hills in an isolated valley, making it better suited to calm sightseeing than large group activities.
