Seiryū-ji

Seiryū-ji stands as a wooden temple complex with curved roofs, decorative eaves, and traditional Buddhist architectural elements in the northeastern part of Hokkaido.

The temple belongs to the Shingon Buddhist sect and has maintained its position as a religious center in the Nemuro region through multiple periods of Japanese history.

At Seiryū-ji, visitors can participate in sutra copying sessions and observe traditional Buddhist ceremonies that connect modern practice with ancient traditions.

The temple grounds remain open throughout the year, with designated areas for prayer and meditation, requiring visitors to remove shoes before entering the main buildings.

During spring, the temple grounds transform when cherry trees burst into full bloom, creating a seasonal display against the backdrop of traditional architecture.
