Higiri jizōson, Buddhist temple in Shimada, Japan.
The temple houses Kṣitigarbha statues and artifacts where visitors place offerings of flowers and candles throughout its traditional Japanese architecture.
Since its construction, Higiri jizōson has maintained its role as a spiritual center for locals seeking protection and blessings from Kṣitigarbha.
