龍拈寺, Buddhist temple in Toyohashi, Japan

The temple grounds contain multiple structures including a mountain gate and numerous Buddhist statues dating from the Heian and Kamakura periods.

The temple's origins trace back to the Nara period, with significant architectural arrangements implemented under Minamoto no Yoritomo's direction.

The temple houses the Aizen Myoo statue, a National Important Cultural Property from the Kamakura period, depicting a young figure with bow and arrow.

Located at 4-4 Tami-cho in Toyohashi City, the temple offers nature trails through mixed forests displaying seasonal changes throughout the year.

The seated Aizen Myoo statue contains 104 smaller replicas hidden inside when removing its crown, making it an exceptional historical artifact.
