Ryugeji

The Ryugeji temple stands within the boundaries of Sera, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architectural elements and multiple prayer halls for religious ceremonies.

The temple's origins trace back to 1222 when, according to records, a mermaid appeared near the beach, leading to the establishment of this religious complex.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year, preserving traditional rituals and spiritual practices for the local community.

Visitors can access the temple through a brief three-minute walk from the Nagasakibana bus stop, with direct connections from Yamagawa Station.

The main hall of Ryugeji houses what locals claim to be mermaid remains, along with an ancient scroll detailing the mythical creature's life story.
