Hokoku-ji Bamboo Garden

Hokoku-ji, founded in 1334, is known as the "Bamboo Temple" of Kamakura. Its private garden contains roughly 2,000 stalks of moso bamboo, creating an intimate green corridor that is far quieter than Arashiyama. A tea house at the edge of the bamboo grove offers matcha service after the shoot.

Personal photography is included with the ¥400 entry fee. Commercial-scale shoots with extensive equipment require prior arrangement with the temple office.
