Kakuan-ji, Buddhist temple in Yamatokōriyama, Japan.
Kakuan-ji temple stands at the meeting point of Yamato and Saho rivers, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and surrounding gardens.
Founded in 621, this temple underwent several transformations, including a revival during the Kamakura period by Buddhist monks Eison and Ninsho.
The temple houses a wood-core dry lacquer statue of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, crafted between the Nara and Heian periods.
Located at 36 Nukatabeteramachi in Yamatokoriyama, the temple maintains regular visiting hours and provides information through its official website.
The temple received compensation from Hideyoshi Toyotomi in the form of land after exchanging its five-story pagoda with Shitenno-ji Temple.
