龍藏寺

The main hall of Ryuzo-ji Temple stands as the largest wooden structure in Kazo, measuring five bays in length and width with a hip-and-gable roof.

The temple was established in 1355 by Kyozo Shonin, and received land grants totaling 22 koku from the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period.

A wooden statue of Amida Buddha, measuring 100 centimeters in height and constructed through joined-block technique, received national recognition as an Important Art Object in 1937.

The temple is accessible by a 12-minute walk from Kazo Station, with multiple parking facilities available within 650 meters of the grounds.

The temple grounds feature a female ginkgo tree that measures 4.3 meters in circumference and reaches 20 meters in height, designated as a Natural Monument of Kazo City.
