Onshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Ina, Japan.

The main hall of Onshō-ji features a Tahō-tō pagoda, which stands as the oldest of its kind in Nagano Prefecture.

Founded in 821 AD by Buddhist master Saichō, the temple received revitalization in the 15th century through the efforts of Nichiren sect leader Nitchū.

The Shaka-dō hall, constructed between 1474 and 1495, represents the earliest surviving Hokke ceremonial space within the Nichiren Buddhist tradition.

Visitors can explore over 2,000 peony plants that bloom across the temple grounds from mid-May through early June each year.

The Tsurukame-gasshō Garden displays landscaping techniques from the early Edo period, integrating traditional elements with religious architecture.
