Mangan-ji, Buddhist temple in Azumino, Japan

Mangan-ji follows the Shingon Buddhist Sect Chizan School and centers its worship around the Thousand-Hand Kanzeon Bodhisattva in a natural forest setting.

The temple dates back to 767, with its main hall Omido constructed in 1368 and reconstructed in 1764 following the devastating fire of 1740.

The temple offers traditional Buddhist practices including zen meditation sessions and waterfall meditation experiences within its designated Cultural Property buildings.

Located at 288 Izuru-machi, the temple welcomes visitors between 8:30 and 17:00, with meditation sessions priced at 1000 yen for zen and 5000 yen for waterfall practice.

The temple grounds include designated Izuru limestone caverns and maintain perpetual services for the deceased amid the surrounding mountain landscape.
