Jōnen-ji, Buddhist temple in Kizugawa, Japan
The temple complex includes a main hall, a five-story red pagoda, and multiple Buddhist statues representing different historical periods of Japanese architecture.
Emperor Shomu commissioned High Priest Roben of Todai-ji Temple to establish this religious site in 735, initially naming it Kannon-ji before its later transformation.
The temple houses two significant 11-Faced Kannon statues, including a primary statue carved from a single kaya tree and a smaller 45.5-centimeter statuette.
Visitors can reach Jōnen-ji by taking a 10-minute walk from Kamo Station on the Yamatoji Line in Kyoto Prefecture.
The Five-Story Pagoda, constructed in 1214 by High Monk Jishin Shonin, features distinctive architectural elements and opens annually for public viewing in October.
