Hongan-ji Kobe Betsuin, Buddhist temple in Chūō-ku, Japan.
The Hongan-ji Kobe Betsuin temple features traditional architectural elements including a main hall, ceremonial gate, and bell tower positioned within landscaped grounds.
The temple originated as a branch of the larger Hongan-ji in Kyoto, established by the Jōdo Shinshū Honganji-ha sect during Japan's historical Buddhist expansion.
The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where monks conduct prayer services and guide visitors through traditional religious practices of the Jōdo Shinshū tradition.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily for meditation sessions, with morning and evening services open to the public following specific ceremonial protocols.
The temple incorporates architectural elements from ancient Indian Buddhist designs, including a round roof shaped like a Bodhi tree leaf and detailed animal carvings.
