少林寺, Buddhist temple in Sakai, Japan
The temple contains multiple buildings surrounding a central courtyard, with traditional Japanese architectural elements featuring curved roofs and wooden structures.
The temple underwent reconstruction in 1973 following its destruction during World War II bombings in July 1945.
Local Buddhist practitioners gather at the temple for regular prayer sessions, meditation practices, and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access the temple grounds from 9 AM to 5 PM daily, with guided tours available in Japanese through advance reservations.
The temple houses a 1,100-year-old cycad tree that, according to records, was temporarily relocated to Azuchi Castle by Oda Nobunaga.
