If You Are Fortunate Enough To Live,

or be visiting Japan, here is a small but modest Buddhist temple, 

photograph Japan Guide, of the Zen Rinzai School, located on the eastern heights of Kamakura in Japan to visit this weekend, it is the Hokokuji Temple,

photograph and all below Kanpai! it is famed for its stand of more than 2,000 bamboos,

this small by comparison to others bamboo forest is also an interesting substitute to the Arashiyama bamboo grove, for those who cannot go to Kyoto or do not have planned a stop in the former imperial capital. Travelers who planned a Tokyo-centred trip can find in Hokoku-ji an easy getaway, less than one hour from the capital,

there is also a tea house,

as well as Japanese garden, 

here is a video about the temple above, would I like to visit? yes please!
