Bairin-ji, Buddhist temple in Tsushima, Japan

Bairin-ji temple stands on a hillside near the Chikugo River, featuring traditional Japanese architecture with a Chinese-style Karimon gate and carved reliefs.

The temple holds significance as the family temple of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, and contains graves of notable clan members.

The temple preserves over 600 artifacts, including silk paintings of Shakyamuni Buddha with attendants, plus works by Ogata Korin and Hasegawa Tohaku.

Prior reservations are required to visit this temple, which maintains regular religious activities and serves the local Buddhist community.

A stone pedestal with cardinal direction grooves, used for astronomical observations and calendar making, stands in the courtyard before the main hall.
