Jion-ji

The temple features traditional wooden architecture with a Japanese garden containing a pond, waterfall, and seasonal plants near the main hall.

Founded by Buddhist monk Endo Keiraku in 1606, Jion-ji temple stands as a testament to early 17th-century religious architecture in Japan.

The temple maintains an active schedule of Buddhist ceremonies and provides morning meditation sessions following Zen practices for visitors and locals.

Entry to the temple costs 500 yen, and visitors can access the grounds daily to explore the gardens and participate in meditation sessions.

The temple grounds transform throughout the year, displaying pink cherry blossoms in spring and red maple leaves during autumn months.
