Jōraku-ji, National Treasure Buddhist temple in Konan, Japan.
The main hall of Jōraku-ji exhibits traditional irimoya-zukuri architecture with a hinoki cypress bark shingled roof and detailed wooden craftsmanship.
The temple, founded by monk Rōben during the Wadō era between 708 and 715, protected the northeastern section of Shigaraki Palace against spiritual vulnerabilities.
The temple marks the first station of the Ōmi Saigoku Sanjusankasho pilgrimage route, established in 1734, connecting 33 temples across Ōmi Province.
Visitors must make reservations to enter the temple, which opens from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and requires a 3-minute walk from Nishitera bus stop.
The temple houses a hibutsu statue of Senjū Kannon and maintains two National Treasures: the main hall and a three-story pagoda from 1400.
