Dōun-ji, Buddhist temple in Izumi-ku, Japan.
Dōun-ji is a Buddhist temple in Izumi-ku featuring multiple buildings arranged around traditional landscaped grounds with characteristics of medieval Japanese design. The structures showcase typical architectural elements found in temples from that period.
Founded in 1338, this temple marked the start of a period of Buddhist temple construction expanding across northern Japan. Its establishment came during a time of growing Buddhist activity in the region.
