Eisen-ji, Buddhist temple in Abashiri, Japan
Eisen-ji temple stands in Abashiri, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and sloped roofs characteristic of northern Hokkaido religious buildings.
The temple represents an important chapter in the spread of Buddhism across northern Japan, serving as a spiritual center for the Abashiri community through generations.
Monks at Eisen-ji maintain daily rituals including morning meditation sessions, sutra chanting, and religious ceremonies following established Buddhist traditions.
Visitors can access Eisen-ji temple during daylight hours, with proper attire required - covered shoulders and knees - and removal of shoes before entering the main hall.
The temple's position in Abashiri, facing the Okhotsk Sea, creates a connection between Buddhist practices and the northern maritime environment of Hokkaido.
