Hōkoku-ji
報国寺
Kamakura East, Kamakura · 鎌倉
A small Zen temple east of the centre whose entire back garden is a moso bamboo grove, with a tea house set inside it serving matcha.
Why it’s worth it
Kyoto’s bamboo grove has thousands of people. This one has a bench, a bowl of matcha, and the sound of the stems moving.
