Yōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Hakui, Japan.
Yōkō-ji temple stands on a mountain slope with an inner temple building connected to the main hall through a corridor near gardens.
Founded in 1317 as a Shingon temple, Yōkō-ji transformed into a Soto Zen institution under Keizan Zenji following spiritual revelations through dreams.
The temple houses an eleven-faced, thousand-armed statue of Kannon bodhisattva and preserves 600 volumes of Dai hannyakyo Buddhist texts.
The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with shuttle bus services operating on the 17th of each month from nearby train stations.
The Hydrangea Path features 4,500 hydrangea plants that flower in June, while the Kamishoin Study presents red foliage views each month.
