Genchū-ji

The temple complex includes traditional wooden structures with curved roofs, paper-thin walls, and bell towers positioned according to geomantic principles.

The temple establishment dates back to the early period of Buddhist influence in Japan, marking a significant point in religious architectural development.

Genzandaishi Taisai celebrations occur annually on March 3rd and 4th, featuring the purchase of Dharma dolls and honoring the tenth-century monk Yakuyoke-Ganzandaishi.

Visitors can participate in morning meditation sessions and explore the temple grounds, which remain open throughout regular daytime hours.

The temple combines architectural elements from both Buddhist and Shinto traditions, including specific gate placements and ceremonial spaces for different worship purposes.
