"Una delle attrattive principali del tempio è la meravigliosa foresta di bambù giganti che si trova nell’area retrostante la sala principale. Qui resterete affascinati dinanzi a oltre 2mila piante di bambù altissime che lasciano appena filtrare la luce del sole. Una serie di percorsi di pietra attraversano questo luogo permettendo ai visitatori di entrare in sintonia profonda con i suoni e i profumi della natura e conducendo ad una piccola sala da tè in cui fermarsi a sorseggiare una tazza di tè matcha accompagnata da qualche dolcetto, con viste magiche sulla foresta incantata di bambù.

"Hōkoku-ji, the "Bamboo Temple," is a serene Zen temple known for its lush bamboo grove. As my visit the general admission fee to the temple is 300 yen , with an additional fee of 600 yen if you wish to participate in a traditional tea ceremony while enjoying the bamboo scenery, which I highly recommend."
