Kaizen-in

The temple buildings maintain traditional wooden architecture with tiled roofs, surrounded by a garden designed for contemplation and meditation practice.

Founded in 1649 by Buddhist master Yōju-in, Kaizen-in has stood as a testament to religious dedication through multiple centuries of Japanese history.

The temple continues the practices of Shingon Buddhism, offering meditation sessions and religious ceremonies that connect visitors with traditional spiritual practices.

Located within the Mount Koya complex, the temple provides accommodations for visitors who wish to experience traditional Buddhist morning ceremonies and meditation.

The temple grounds contain multiple meditation spaces where monks maintain daily practices that have remained unchanged since the 17th century.
