Konren-ji, National Treasure Buddhist temple in Nishio, Japan
The Konren-ji temple stands as an architectural masterwork featuring multiple buildings, including the Amida-do hall and traditional wooden structures displaying Japanese Buddhist design elements.
The temple traces its origins to 1271 when Ashikaga Mitsuji ordered its construction as a family temple during the reign of the Kira clan in medieval Japan.
The temple maintains strong ties to the Soto school of Buddhism, featuring traditional ceremonies and religious practices that continue through generations of Buddhist followers.
Visitors can attend the annual flower festival called Buddha-san, held on the second Sunday of April, where temple statues become accessible to the public.
The temple complex includes the Hachiyo Hotakugata Bonsho bell, which represents the economic strength and influence of Konren-ji during Japan's Middle Ages.
