Sōsan-ji

The Sōsan-ji temple complex features traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with gardens that incorporate natural stone arrangements and carefully maintained vegetation throughout the grounds.

Founded in 1544 during the Muromachi period, Sōsan-ji emerged as a Buddhist sanctuary during a time of significant political and social changes in Japanese society.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where participants engage in meditation practices, sutra recitations, and traditional religious observances throughout the calendar year.

Visitors can access Sōsan-ji through nearby public transportation stations, with the temple grounds opening daily from morning to late afternoon.

The temple preserves multiple historical artifacts and religious texts that document the evolution of Buddhist practices in the Bentenchō region since the 16th century.
