Kitamuki-kan'non, Buddhist temple in Bessho Onsen, Japan.

The temple hall faces north towards Zenkoji Temple, located within a complex that includes several Buddhist structures and ancient stone monuments.

Founded in 825 by Buddhist monk Ennin, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions after fires, with the current building dating from 1721.

The temple maintains a dual spiritual connection with Zenkoji Temple, where visitors traditionally pray at both locations for benefits in current and future lives.

Visitors can obtain temple seals, participate in fire rituals, and access free WiFi throughout the temple grounds during opening hours.

The temple grounds feature a notable Aizen-katsura tree, considered sacred for relationship blessings and marking the temple's cultural significance.
