西蓮寺, Buddhist temple in Namegata, Japan
Sairenji Temple features a grand entrance gate and a finial pagoda, both designated as important national cultural properties of Japan.
Founded in 782 under Emperor Kanmu's imperial order, the temple was established by Saisen, a disciple of Buddhist master Saicho.
The temple holds the Jogyo Zanmai ceremony each September, where monks perform continuous recitations of the Amida Sutra.
Visitors can receive temple stamps between 9:00 and 11:45 in the morning and from 13:00 to 16:00 in the afternoon.
Two ancient ginkgo trees over 1000 years old stand in the temple grounds, reaching heights of 25 and 27 meters respectively.
