Ryūkoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Toyooka, Japan

The temple comprises wooden structures with tatami mat flooring, set among farmland and green spaces in Hyogo Prefecture.

Founded in 1345 as part of the Ankokuji temples network, Ryūkoku-ji was rebuilt in 1904 following a devastating fire in 1717.

The temple belongs to the Daitoku-ji branch of Rinzai School and maintains traditional meditation sessions and tea ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple welcomes visitors who wish to participate in Buddhist ceremonies, offering educational programs about Japanese religious practices and traditions.

Behind the main building stand dodan-tsutsuji shrubs dating back 150 years, drawing 30,000 visitors during the autumn color season.
