Raijū-in, Buddhist temple in Suwa, Japan.
The Raijū-in temple stands among mountain slopes in Suwa, where the structure overlooks Lake Suwa and surrounding peaks of Nagano Prefecture.
The temple emerged during a period when Buddhist institutions established strong connections with local communities, integrating with existing spiritual practices near Lake Suwa.
Local residents participate in regular temple ceremonies that merge Buddhist traditions with regional customs influenced by the natural rhythms of Lake Suwa.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a two-hour train journey on the Azusa line from Tokyo's Shinjuku Station to Kami-Suwa station.
The temple grounds provide views of Lake Suwa's surface patterns, which change according to seasonal temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
