Sendanji, Buddhist temple in Saijō, Japan.
The Sendanji temple complex contains thirty buildings distributed across an ancient cedar forest with trees exceeding three centuries in age.
The temple was established in 1394 by Ryoan Emyo Zenji, becoming one of the three principal Zen Buddhist temples of Japan's Soto School.
The Goshin-den Pavilion hosts traditional ceremonies where songs and drums accompany rituals led by ceremonial masters throughout the year.
Visitors must climb a pathway of 350 steps to reach the temple grounds, with access available by train to Daiyuzan Station and a connecting bus.
Near the Goshin-den pavilion stands a collection of geta wooden shoes, including what is considered the largest pair in existence.
