Shinshō-in, Buddhist temple in Hachioji, Japan
The main building of Shinshō-in features a distinctive blue roof with golden decorations that creates a visual contrast against the surrounding garden landscape.
The temple stands as a religious landmark in Hachioji, which developed as a significant post town and silk production center during the Meiji period.
Shinshō-in maintains Buddhist traditions through regular ceremonies and seasonal events that connect visitors with Japanese spiritual practices and religious customs.
The temple grounds include a bell tower, a statue of Hotei, and an uphill graveyard, with a small restaurant nearby offering tea and lunch options.
The uncommon blue-colored roof tiles of Shinshō-in become particularly noticeable during rainy weather, standing out against the gray skies of Hachioji.
