Kyusho-ji, Buddhist temple in Hitachiota, Japan.

Set along the Takayama Temple Trail, Kyusho-ji displays two large purple-leaved acer trees within its traditional Japanese garden layout.

The temple buildings were moved from Takayama castle to their current location following the castle's decommissioning in 1695, reshaping the religious landscape.

Kyusho-ji maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and rituals, serving as a central point for religious practices within the local community.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through marked pathways, with designated areas for prayer and meditation following Buddhist customs.

The temple features specific architectural elements that combine Chinese-influenced design with Japanese Buddhist temple traditions, evident in its structural composition.
