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.
