洞泉寺, Buddhist temple in Iwakuni, Japan

Dosenji Temple is situated near the base of Mount Shiroyama, featuring traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures and tiled roofs.

The temple dates back to the Edo period when the Kikkawa clan governed the Iwakuni domain and established religious centers in the region.

The temple maintains Buddhist ceremonies and rituals throughout the year, following traditions that connect local residents with their spiritual heritage.

The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with visitors required to remove their shoes before entering the main prayer hall.

The temple gardens incorporate natural elements from Mount Shiroyama, creating spaces for meditation that change with each season.
