Kōshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Uchiko, Japan.

Kōshō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Uchiko with interconnected halls and gates linked by covered corridors. Multiple buildings occupy the grounds in a coordinated layout that creates a unified temple complex.

The temple originated during the Muromachi period and underwent major reconstruction over the centuries. These rebuilding efforts reflect how the site adapted to changing times while maintaining its role in the community.

The temple serves as a gathering place for springtime ceremonies that connect visitors to longstanding local traditions. These annual observances show how the community continues to practice spiritual rituals that hold meaning for people living nearby.

The temple is accessible by public bus followed by a short walk from the nearest stop. Parking is available on the grounds if you arrive by car.

The grounds contain a monumental stone sculpture that many visitors overlook. This remarkable artwork demonstrates the craftsmanship invested in shaping this place.
