Ryōzan-ji, Buddhist temple in Misaki, Japan

Ryōzan-ji is a Buddhist temple in Misaki featuring stone structures, meditation halls, and traditional Japanese gardens arranged according to Buddhist design principles. The grounds include distinct areas for prayer and contemplation, organized in a way that guides visitors through different spaces.

The temple became important during the late Edo period under the leadership of monk Ryozan, who became the thirteenth chief priest of Myoraku-ji Temple. This era shaped its role within the religious landscape of the region.

This place serves as a gathering spot where local Buddhist practitioners come to meditate and participate in traditional rituals that are part of everyday spiritual life here. The ceremonies and practices you can witness reflect how Buddhism remains woven into the rhythm of the community.

The grounds are accessible throughout the year with dedicated areas for prayer, meditation, and Buddhist ceremonies you might encounter. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and move quietly to honor the spiritual nature of the space.

The temple holds sacred artifacts and religious texts that document how Buddhism developed in the Misaki region over time. These collections reveal how religious practices adapted and spread through different periods.
