養寿寺, Buddhist temple in Nishio, Japan
The wooden structures and carvings of Yoju-ji Temple integrate with gardens, creating a traditional Japanese temple design amid the Nishio landscape.
Established in 1271 under the Kira clan, Yoju-ji Temple served as a family sanctuary for the lords of Sai-jo castle in medieval Japan.
The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and rituals, including seasonal festivals that bring together the local community of Nishio throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the temple using local buses and trains, with regular services connecting to major transportation hubs in the surrounding region.
The temple grounds contain a Shakado building from the Muromachi period, recognized as a prefectural cultural heritage site within the Mikawa Kuromatsu forest.
