Saikō-ji, Buddhist temple in Anan, Japan.

The temple consists of multiple wooden halls with traditional Japanese architecture, positioned on different levels connected by stone paths and staircases.

The temple received extensive renovation work during the late eighteenth century, which included the restoration of the main Amida-do Hall in 1799.

The temple holds special ceremonies for Amida Nyorai Buddha, with local residents gathering to perform traditional Buddhist rituals throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the temple via a 15-minute walk from Yoshitomi Station, with designated parking spaces available for those arriving by car.

Two statues of Jizo, created separately by a father and son, stand within the temple grounds as symbols of their spiritual connection.
