Eishoin, Buddhist temple in Yamanashi, Japan

Eishoin temple stands at 480 meters altitude with structures including an ancient gate, bell tower, and traditional Japanese architectural elements on its grounds.

The temple, founded in 1504 by Takeda Nobumasa, houses a bell from 1376 and contains the burial site of Nobuaki within its grounds.

The temple follows Soto Zen Buddhism principles and maintains regular religious ceremonies while serving as a center for meditation and spiritual practices.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds by following marked paths, which lead to elevated positions offering clear views of Mount Fuji.

During spring, the temple grounds present a natural frame where cherry blossoms in the foreground create compositions with Mount Fuji in the background.
