The Hydrangea Temple
Meigetsuin Temple was originally a sub-temple of Zenkoji Temple (now ruined). Meigetsuin is also known as the Hydrangea Temple, and was the first temple in Kamakura to become famous for its gardens. The Meigetsuin yagura tomb, where Buddhist images such as Shaka-nyorai were carved into the rock, is the largest tomb in Kamakura. The garden behind the main hall is open to the public in June for the irises and in November for autumn colors.
