Zenshoji, Buddhist temple in Suma-ku, Kobe, Japan
The temple grounds contain traditional Japanese structures including the main hall and a bell tower within a carefully maintained landscape.
Founded during the Asuka period in 646, Zenshoji underwent reconstruction after a devastating fire destroyed its original structure in 1975.
Following the teachings of the Rinzai school, the temple stands as a center for Zen Buddhist practices and meditation in the Hyogo Prefecture.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours and can be reached by public transportation from central Kobe through the local transit system.
The temple preserves a historical connection to Mount Maya, named after Buddha's mother, whose statue was brought from China in the 8th century.
