Ryūsen-ji, Buddhist temple in Shimo-Meguro, Japan.
Ryusen-ji temple occupies multiple levels of stone steps, with the main hall positioned at the center of the grounds near a waterfall.
The temple was established in 808 by Buddhist monk Ennin during his journey to Mount Hiei, after experiencing a vision of Fudo Myoo.
The temple holds daily fire rituals and monthly festivals on the 28th, when merchants set up stalls along the approaching streets.
The temple grounds include multiple halls, a sacred waterfall, stone monuments, and gardens that visitors can explore between 6:00 and 17:00.
The temple contains the grave of Aoki Konyo, who introduced sweet potato cultivation to Japan and is celebrated during the annual October potato festival.
