Sokoji Temple

This beautiful temple of the Buddhist Soto sect is famous for the mushroom cedars that add an element of grace and natural beauty to the temple grounds. 120 mushroom-shaped “Tsuchiyu Cedars” are planted along the 100-meter-long approach to the mountain gate and as such, it is designated as a historic site as well as a natural monument by the prefecture. Surrounded by nature, enjoy matcha while attempting the sutra-copying experience and peer out over the beautiful Japanese gardens to get a new sense of serenity during each season.
