Sesson An

The temple exhibits traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures, sliding doors, and simple geometric forms that emphasize natural materials and minimalism throughout the complex.

The temple bears the name of Sesson Shukei, a medieval monk and painter who influenced Japanese art through his interpretations of Zen philosophy during his residency.

The temple maintains regular Zen meditation sessions where participants engage in mindfulness practices while surrounded by traditional gardens designed for contemplation.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a local bus from Fukushima Station to the nearby stop, followed by a 10-minute walk through residential streets.

The temple contains an exhibition space dedicated to displaying original artworks and calligraphy created by Sesson Shukei during his time as resident monk.
