Kōrin-in, Zen temple within Daitoku-ji complex in Kita-ku, Japan
The main building of Kōrin-in features traditional Muromachi architecture with precise wooden construction and sliding paper doors throughout its structure.
Hatakeyama Yoshifusa, a regional warlord from Noto province, established Kōrin-in as a family temple within the Daitoku-ji complex in 1520.
The garden incorporates Chinese landscape elements, with azaleas and rhododendrons representing mountains while carefully placed rocks symbolize scattered islands.
The temple opens only during select weeks of peak season, with entrance fees of 600 yen for viewing the buildings and traditional garden.
After extensive renovations costing millions of dollars, the temple reopened in 2011 with restored features including its characteristic side window entrance.
