興聖寺, Buddhist temple in Takashima, Japan.
The Kōshō-ji Temple features traditional wooden structures and gardens on a scenic hillside overlooking the Adogawa River and Mount Ue.
Founded in 1243 at the recommendation of Zen Master Dōgen, the temple relocated to its current location after a major fire during the Edo period.
The temple houses a National Important Cultural Property, a wooden seated Buddha statue from the Heian period crafted from cypress using the yosegi technique.
Located at 374 Kutsuki-Iwase, the temple can be reached by taking a 35-minute bus ride from JR Adogawa Station to Kutsuki School stop.
The temple grounds include the former Shūrinji Garden, designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1935, with its stone bridge made of petrified camphor wood.
