Saiju-ji

The temple structure incorporates traditional Buddhist architectural elements, including wooden beams, curved roofs, and intricate ornamental details characteristic of Japanese religious buildings.

Established during the period when Buddhism spread throughout Japan, Saiju-ji represents the integration of Buddhist teachings with local spiritual practices.

The temple maintains a collection of religious artifacts and hosts ceremonies that demonstrate the connection between Buddhist practices and Japanese cultural traditions.

Visitors must remove their shoes before entering the main temple building and maintain silence during meditation sessions to respect the sacred environment.

Local traditions link Saiju-ji to unusual narratives about Jesus Christ's alleged visit to Japan, supported by specific artifacts preserved within the temple grounds.
