Zensui-ji, National Treasure Buddhist temple in Iwane, Konan, Japan
The Main Hall of Zensui-ji exemplifies irimoya-zukuri architecture with a seven by five bay structure and hinoki cypress bark shingled roof.
The temple was established during the Wado era between 708 and 715 by Empress Genmei, initially named Wado-ji before receiving its current name.
The temple contains numerous Buddhist statues classified as National Important Cultural Properties, including a Yakushi Nyorai statue carved in 993.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a train to Mikumo Station on the JR West Kusatsu Line, followed by a 3.9-kilometer walk.
Emperor Kanmu regained health after drinking water from the temple spring, leading to the name change from Wado-ji to Zensui-ji.
