Eiryō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nagaoka, Japan.
Eiryō-ji temple features traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with white plaster walls, wooden panels at the base, and a characteristic tiled roof design.
Founded during the Muromachi period between 1558 and 1570 by Makino Naritsune, the temple relocated to its current location in 1618 when the Makino clan moved.
The temple holds multiple memorial stones and graves of significant figures, including Nagaoka domain lords and the first mayor of Nagaoka city.
The main hall, reconstructed in 1905, contains an Amida Buddha statue and remains open for visitors to experience Buddhist ceremonies and rituals.
During the Northern Campaign of the Boshin War, the temple served as a medical facility for wounded soldiers before being burned during the battle for Nagaoka Castle.
