Tōrin-ji, Buddhist temple in Ishigaki, Japan
The temple grounds include large tropical trees like banyan and fukugi, with traditional red-tiled roofs adorning the main hall and entrance gate.
Founded in 1614 by King Shō Nei during the Ryukyu Kingdom period, Tōrin-ji stands as the oldest temple in the Yaeyama region of Japan.
The temple features statues of Kongorikishi and Mikajaku Rikishi at its entrance gate, displaying the regional interpretation of Buddhist guardian figures.
Located at Ishigaki 285 in Okinawa Prefecture, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a recommended visit duration of 30 minutes.
After complete destruction by the Meiwa Tsunami in 1771, the temple was rebuilt within one year, maintaining its designation as an Important Cultural Property.
