Sayama fudōson, Buddhist temple in Kami-Yamaguchi, Japan.
The temple grounds feature a main gate with traditional architecture, leading to paths surrounded by ancient Japanese cedar trees and stone staircases.
The temple operates as a principal center of the Tendai Buddhist sect since 1975, near Lake Sayama which was constructed as a reservoir in 1934.
The temple includes underground galleries displaying Kannon statues and Mizuko Jizo terraces with memorials for unborn children according to Buddhist traditions.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a short walk from Seibu Kyujo-mae Station, with the site offering views of Lake Sayama and Mount Fuji.
The temple grounds contain a five-story red pagoda that stands as a regional marker near the artificial Lake Sayama, used for Tokyo's water supply.
