Onsen-ji, Buddhist temple in Kami-Suwa Onsen, Japan
The temple contains a principal statue of Shaka Nyorai and stands on a hill within walking distance from Kami-Suwa Station.
The temple, established in 1640 as the bodaiji of the Suwa clan, suffered a devastating fire in 1870 that destroyed most of its historical records.
The temple bell from the Muromachi period represents a significant cultural asset, recognized as a Nagano Prefectural Important Cultural Property.
The temple grounds include the Takashima Domain Suwa clan cemetery with over 100 graves, featuring monuments of eight generations of daimyo.
The current temple gate originated from Takashima Castle and was relocated to this location after the castle's demolition during the Meiji period.
