Kojima-dera, Buddhist temple in Takatori, Japan.
The temple features a main hall constructed in 1848 and contains multiple structures that demonstrate traditional Japanese religious architecture styles and patterns.
Founded in 760 under Emperor Koken's directive, the temple served as a training center for the Kojima school of the Shingon Buddhist sect during the Heian period.
The temple houses the Ryokai mandara, a National Treasure mandala painting created during the middle of the Heian period, representing Buddhist cosmology.
Visitors can reach Kojima-dera by taking the Kintetsu Yoshino Line to Tsubosakayama Station and following the marked walking path to the temple grounds.
The temple's entrance gate originates from Takatori Castle's Ninomon, incorporating elements of secular architecture into its religious setting.
