Tesshin-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamikawa, Japan

The temple features traditional outdoor wooden architecture with two main pavilions covered by large double-sloped thatched roofs in Hyogo prefecture.

Built between 1661 and 1672, Tesshin-ji contains the tombs of the Fukumoto Clan, a branch of the Ikeda lords connected to the Tokugawa dynasty.

The main hall Hon-do from 1762 and San-mon gate from 1838 represent cultural treasures designated by Hyogo prefecture for their architectural value.

From Himeji JR station, travelers can reach the temple by taking a 43-minute train ride followed by a 10-minute bus journey.

The temple maintains its original thatched roofs, which require replacement every 20 to 30 years due to natural material degradation.
