Zuisenji is a prestigious temple, built as the family temple of the Kamakura kubo governors, such as Ashikaga Motouji. It is said that the rock garden, created by excavating the bedrock, was designed by Muso Soseki. The garden, a precursor to the later shoin style gardens, is listed as a national site of scenic beauty. The temple is known for its bamboo forest and autumn colors.
