見性寺, Buddhist temple in Komono, Japan

The Kensho-ji temple features traditional architectural elements including a main hall constructed in Zen meditation style and a grand entrance gate.

The temple was established in 1644 by the second lord of Komono Domain, Hijikata Yuutaka, as a memorial to his father's legacy.

The temple houses numerous artifacts from the Hijikata family, including armor, flags, folding screens, and important historical documents.

Located five minutes by foot from Komono Station, the temple grounds include a parking area for 40 vehicles and regular religious ceremonies.

The temple bell, cast in Kyoto in 1663 by metalworker Kondo Tanba, represents a significant piece of Japanese bronze craftsmanship.
