Seiunji Temple, Buddhist temple in Koshu, Japan
The temple stands at 1,050 meters elevation on the left bank of Nichikawa valley within the Tenmokuzan mountains of Yamanashi Prefecture.
Nariumi Honjo founded Seiunji Temple around 1348 after spending twenty years selecting the location following his return from studies in Yuan Dynasty China.
The temple complex includes a meditation garden with natural rocks and ancient inscriptions that reflect traditional Japanese Rinzai school Buddhist practices.
Visitors reach the temple by taking the JR Chuo Line to Kai-Yamato Station and connecting to a local bus service that stops at Amame.
The temple holds a special mid-November exhibition displaying Buddhist statues, paintings, and crafts that remain hidden from public view during the rest of the year.
