Engakuji Temple Garden (Eifuku-ji)

  3.0/5 (1 ratings)

Gardenvisit Editorial

Engakuji is the main temple of the Engakuji section of the Rinzai Buddhist sect. The garden was restored in 1969 according to an old drawing. Zen Buddhism regarded gardens as microcosms of the natural landscape and this is a fine example. Kamakura became important when Shogun Yorimoto Minamoto wrested power from the imperial court at Kyoto.

    Engaku-ji is for me much more beautiful for its buildings, door, temples, bells than garden itself. But maybe i was not there at the best season (I was there end of August)
