光恩寺, Buddhist temple in Wakayama, Japan

The temple stands near Mount Koya with multiple wooden halls connected by elevated corridors leading to meditation spaces and prayer rooms.

The temple structure incorporates architectural elements from both Kyoto and Nara styles, reflecting centuries of Buddhist influence in the region.

Morning prayer services in the main hall feature rhythmic percussion sounds from wooden instruments while monks recite traditional Buddhist sutras.

Guests can reserve accommodation between 9000 and 15000 yen per night, which includes traditional vegetarian meals and access to morning ceremonies.

The Medical Buddha hall contains a collection of ear-shaped stones left by visitors seeking healing through spiritual practices.
