Shinshōji Temple in Isogo, Yokohama

#asiabudgetchallenge
🛕 Destination
I visited Shinshōji Temple in Isogo, Yokohama—a peaceful, lesser-known Buddhist temple tucked away in a quiet residential area. Surrounded by greenery and traditional architecture, it offers a calm spiritual atmosphere, with beautiful seasonal plants and a charming local feel. It’s a great spot to slow down and reflect.

💸 Rough Budget
Visiting the temple is free, and I spent only about ¥800 on local transportation and a bottled drink—very budget-friendly.

💡 Your #1 Travel Tip
Visit during early morning hours for quiet and fresh air. Pair your visit with Isogo Uminomieru Park for a relaxing half-day trip. Wear comfortable shoes—the area is hilly but rewarding!
