Kochōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-Alps, Japan
The Kochōzen-ji temple complex features a main hall containing a statue of Amida Nyōrai and extends across multiple buildings within its grounds.
Founded in 802 AD as Eizen-ji and relocated in 822 AD by Kūkai, the temple received support from the Takeda family during the Sengoku period.
The temple preserves 561 volumes of the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra from 1254, designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1905.
The temple offers dedicated spaces for meditation and prayer, with parking available near the entrance and traditional gardens surrounding the buildings.
A statue of Fudo Myo-o stands as the single surviving artifact from World War II, becoming the central focus point of modern worship.
