Ryūsen-ji, Buddhist temple in Tondabayashi, Japan.
Ryūsen-ji is a Buddhist temple in Tondabayashi featuring a traditional garden as its focal point. The grounds center around a pond where water lilies and lotus flowers bloom across different seasons.
The temple was founded in 594 by Soga no Umako and stands as one of the region's earliest Buddhist temples. It was later restored by Kobo Daishi, who enhanced its religious importance.
The temple is part of the Kawachi-Asuka pilgrimage route that connects hundreds of Buddhist temples across the region. This network of sacred sites shapes the spiritual landscape and continues to draw people who walk between them.
The temple sits about 800 meters west of Ryusen bus stop near Tondabayashi Station in Osaka Prefecture. A short walk through the area brings you directly to the entrance.
The Nio-mon guardian gate was built in 1275 and retains its original structure to this day. It stands as a rare example of medieval Japanese temple architecture that has survived largely unchanged.
