長安寺, Buddhist temple in Ofunato, Japan.

Choganji Temple stands at the eastern coast of Japan, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and sloped roofs against mountain scenery.

The temple grounds contain a bronze bell dating from 1659, marking a period of Buddhist expansion in the Ofunato region during the Edo period.

Local residents gather at Choganji Temple during Obon festival to honor their ancestors through traditional ceremonies and offerings at the temple cemetery.

The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated parking spaces and walking paths connecting to the main prayer hall and cemetery areas.

The temple grounds include stone walls covered with native mountain plants that change colors throughout the four seasons of the year.
