Kaichō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shimizu-ku, Japan.
The temple consists of traditional Buddhist architectural elements, with pagodas and ceremonial halls arranged around inner courtyards between gardens.
The temple follows design principles established during the Momoyama period of the 16th century, when shogunates prioritized Buddhist temple construction.
During festivals, the temple exhibits sacred Buddhist images and artifacts that remain concealed from public view throughout the rest of the year.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes guests who wish to participate in religious ceremonies or explore the architectural features.
The temple name incorporates kaichō, a practice of displaying hidden religious treasures that generated substantial revenue in Edo-period Japan.
