This temple is called “the temple of flowers” because it is full of flowers all year around, wisteria, peony and azalea and called “the pure land in Kamakura”. The temple boasts a wealth of other sights related to Buddhism as well: a statue of Amida Buddha, Daikokuten, an image believed to help with success in life; a garden full of Jizo statues; and a cave containing images of goddess Benten and her disciples.

Hakone golden course trip in a day (from Tokyo)
“This truly was our first day on our trip to Japan”
My experience visiting Hakone and Mt. Fuji with Nao was fantastic. From the moment we booked the tour until the end, Nao was incredibly prompt in his communications, providing helpful information well in advance and frequently checking in on us. The tour was extensive, and he guided us patiently throughout the day. Unlike other guides, his fee included all transportation, lunch, and entrance tickets, which we found very reasonable. Nao is a friendly person, and we genuinely enjoyed his company. Having a private guide was a key reason for booking this tour. Haruo was very responsive both before and during our trip, confirming the sites we wanted to see prior to our arrival. On the morning of the tour, we mistakenly confused our start time and Nao-san kindly left his home early to accommodate us. He picked us up at the train station near our accommodation, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nao-san!

Dear Kris san Thank you very much for your comment on my tour. It is regret that Mt Fuji was covered with cloud all day long and missed the chance to enjoy beautiful and elegant Mt Fuji. If you have chance to come back to Japan, I really want to show you beautiful Mt Fuji clearly. Thanks Nao
