Kanzan-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu, Japan
Located on the northern shore of Lake Hamana, Kanzan-ji Temple features steep stone steps leading to the main hall and water purification pavilion.
Founded in 810 by Buddhist monk Kukai, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in 1187 and 1384, receiving patronage from Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1498.
The temple houses the Enmusubi Jizo statue where visitors place wooden prayer tablets for successful relationships and marriage connections.
The temple grounds include walking paths around Mount Kanzan, offering views of Lake Hamana, with summer months experiencing higher temperatures.
Every December 15th, the temple holds a fire festival where both monks and visitors participate in a fire-walking ceremony after Buddhist sutra recitations.
