龍蔵寺

Ryuzoji Temple presents a traditional wooden structure with a main hall, bell tower, and meditation areas surrounded by gardens filled with seasonal flowers.

Founded in 783 by monk Shodo, the temple was reconstructed in 1746 after a fire, receiving land grants from the Maebashi domain lord Sakai Tadayasu.

The temple maintains its position as one of the eight Tendai Buddhist learning centers in the Kanto region, offering meditation sessions and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 20-minute bus ride from JR Maebashi Station, with services running regularly throughout the day.

The temple contains a statue of Gensai Daishi, locally known as Aoyagi Daishi, which draws followers seeking relief from physical ailments.
