Kozenji, Buddhist temple in Kawachinagano, Japan.

The temple complex includes a main hall called Hondo, surrounded by tall cedar trees that create natural pathways throughout the grounds.

The temple maintains its original structures from centuries past and represents the architectural traditions of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism.

Regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions take place at Kozenji, maintaining the practices of Japanese spiritual traditions.

The temple grounds open daily from sunrise to sunset, with direct bus connections from Kawachinagano Station to the entrance.

A three-story pagoda stands as the only structure of its kind in southern Nagano, housing the temple's principal deity, Achala.
