Ganjōju-in, Buddhist temple in Izunokuni, Japan
The temple holds five Buddhist statues crafted by master sculptor Unkei, including an Amida Buddha and Bishamonten, all designated as National Treasures of Japan.
Founded in 1189 by Hojo Tokimasa to pray for victory in the Oshu campaign, the temple expanded through three generations of the Hojo family leadership.
The temple preserves numerous architectural elements from the Edo period reconstruction, including a thatched main hall built in 1789.
Visitors can reach the temple within 15 minutes on foot from Nirayama Station on the Izuhakone Railway line, with opening hours from 10:00 to 16:00.
Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of a large pond that once existed in front of the temple hall, similar to the layouts of Byodoin and Motsuji temples.
