Zuisen-ji

Kanagawa

4.3 (629) Temple
Closed

Zuisen-ji is a historic temple in Inami renowned for its intricate wood carvings and a massive bell that visitors are permitted to ring. The site also features a unique cafe experience where matcha and traditional sweets are delivered to guests on wooden trays floating along a water-filled channel.

Viewers are enthusiastic about the exploration of rural Japan and the focus on supporting local mom-and-pop businesses. However, the sentiment is mixed as many shared concerns regarding racial discrimination in small mountain towns, which is seen as a significant barrier for foreign travelers.

  • Order the matcha and traditional sweets to experience the floating tray delivery.
  • Ring the massive temple bell for a hands-on historic experience.
  • Examine the world-renowned Inami wood carvings found across the temple grounds.
  • Support the local economy by visiting nearby mom-and-pop businesses.
