Kaijūsen-ji, Buddhist temple in Kizugawa, Japan
The temple sits on the slopes of Mount Mikami, offering views of the Kizugawa River and the former Kuni capital site.
Founded in 735 by Emperor Shomu, the temple was rebuilt in 1208 by monk Jokei after being destroyed by fire in 1137.
The temple contains two Eleven-Faced Kannon statues from the Heian period, both designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
The temple welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 16:30, with admission fees of 300 yen for the main hall and meditation quarters.
The five-story pagoda, built in 1214, features a distinctive wooden skirt-like structure at its base, one of only two such designs in Japan.
