Kōshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuromachi, Japan.
The Kōshō-ji temple features a traditional Ryugu-zukuri gate and expansive grounds with distinct architectural elements spread across its eastern and western hills.
Founded during the Kamakura Period by monk Dogen, the temple underwent significant reconstruction in 1648 using materials from the former Fushimi Castle.
The temple maintains strong connections to Japanese Buddhist practices through its meditation sessions, tea ceremonies, and regular religious observances throughout the year.
Visitors can access the temple via the Keihan Uji Line, with a ten-minute walk from Uji Station, and parking facilities accommodate 30 vehicles.
The temple contains specially designed nightingale floors that produce squeaking sounds when walked upon, functioning as an ancient security system.
