Jōshō-ji, Nichiren Buddhist temple in Suehirocho, Japan
The temple grounds contain multiple wooden buildings around a central hall, with two tea houses and a pond featuring a Hakuba Kannon statue.
Founded in 1616 by Jakushoin Nichiken Shonin during the Edo period, the temple became a center for monk education through the Takagamine Danrin School.
The temple holds annual spring festivals in April to commemorate Yoshino Tayu, a prominent Edo period courtesan who contributed the vermillion entrance gate.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Kyoto subway to Kitaoji Station and then bus number Kita 1 to Takagaminegenkoan-mae stop.
The temple grounds maintain a natural forest setting where vegetation grows freely, creating an untamed environment different from traditional Japanese gardens.
