Ryōsei-ji, Buddhist temple in Yanagawa, Japan.

The temple features rectangular gardens with strategically positioned rocks amid raked pebbles, creating patterns that guide meditation and reflection.

Founded by Tachibana Muneshige in 1621, the temple stands as a memorial for his wife Ginchiyo, constructed after he regained control of Yanagawa.

The temple functions as a memorial site where visitors engage in spiritual practices and participate in services commemorating deceased family members.

Located in Fukuoka Prefecture, the temple opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring Japanese architecture and traditional garden designs.

The temple holds the remains of Ginchiyo, which were transferred from Haraka Village on the 33rd anniversary of her death.
