Ryōsen-ji, Buddhist temple and National Treasure in Nakamachi, Japan
The main hall of Ryōsen-ji exhibits architectural features from 1283, including a five-bay structure with intricate wooden craftsmanship and tile roofing.
Founded by monk Gyōki in 736, the temple gained international significance in 1854 when it hosted negotiations leading to the Treaty of Peace and Amity.
The temple museum contains over 3,000 artifacts documenting exchanges between Japan and foreign nations during the 16th through 19th centuries.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through a 10-minute walk from Shimoda Station, following marked pathways through the city streets.
The temple grounds witnessed Japan's first Western music concert when military bands performed during Commodore Perry's diplomatic mission.
