Shorei-in is one of the Tatchu of Engaku-ji and is located on the left of Sanmon. Usually, it is not open to the public except for some periods in the spring and fall. When I visited it was open to the public and I could enter inside. (October 27, 2012, admission fee 100 yen).

From around the Sanmon, I feel its appearance is a little bit feminine.

There is a variety of plants and flowers along the path inside.
