Ikkyuji, Buddhist temple in Kyotanabe, Japan

The temple complex includes traditional Japanese halls, gardens with maple trees, and a residence named Kokyu-an at the center of the grounds.

Established during the Muromachi period between 1336 and 1573, the temple gained importance when Zen master Ikkyu Sojun became its founder and spiritual leader.

The temple served as a gathering place for cultural figures, including Jyuko Murata and Zenchiku Konparu, contributing to the development of Japanese arts.

Located 20 minutes by foot from Kyotanabe Station, the temple opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with the Treasure Repository accepting visitors until 16:30.

The temple produces its own variety of fermented soybeans, known as Ikkyuji natto, following a preparation method traditionally performed by the chief priest.
