History
What I visited is Koshōji, which stands in the scenic land of Kamakura. It has long been known as a place where many ascetic monks gather. The tranquil precincts have an atmosphere that evokes the weight of history. The principal Buddha quietly welcomes worshippers. It would also be good to calm your mind while admiring the beautiful garden. It is a place where one can experience the spirit of Zen.
