Meigetsu-in Temple was founded in 1180. The reason why I introduce this temple here is that the dry landscape garden with rocks and sand is very beautiful. In Kyoto there are two famous dry landscape gardens; one at Nanzen-ji Temple and another at Ryoan-ji Temple. But if you don't have enough time to go to Kyoto, you will be able to enjoy it here. This temple is within ten minutes' walk from Kita-Kamakura station of the JR Yokosuka line.The picture above is the main building of Meigetsu-in Temple. The picture below is the dry landscape garden.
Meigetsu-in literally means Bright Moon Temple. This temple is also known as The Temple of Hydrangeas because there are a lot of hydrangeas along the path to the temple.On the way from the station to this temple there is a famous temple named Engaku-ji Temple. The following picture is flowers arranged beautifully in the main hall.
