Jōshoō-ji, Buddhist temple in Tawaramoto, Japan
The Jōshoō-ji temple exhibits traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures and curved roofs supported by post and lintel construction methods.
Established in 1651 during the Edo period, Jōshoō-ji temple represents a time when Buddhist institutions were expanding their presence across Japan.
The temple layout incorporates geomantic positioning principles, reflecting the Japanese adaptation of Buddhist architectural traditions from mainland Asia.
Visitors can participate in traditional purification rituals at the temizuya washing station before entering the temple grounds.
