Ryūtaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Mishima, Japan.
Ryūtaku-ji temple exhibits traditional Japanese architectural elements with stone gates, meditation spaces, and meticulously maintained gardens throughout its grounds.
Founded by Zen master Hakuin Ekaku in 1761, the temple underwent reconstruction in the early Meiji period and experienced revival through Gempō Yamamoto's efforts.
The temple maintains strong connections with international Zen practitioners, particularly through its former abbot Soen Nakagawa who established Buddhist centers in New York.
Located at coordinates 35°08′47″N and 138°55′40″E, the temple welcomes visitors interested in meditation practices and Buddhist teachings.
The temple preserves the legacy of Soen Nakagawa, known as the modern Basho, whose ashes rest both at Ryūtaku-ji and in New York.
