Seson-ji, Buddhist temple in Ōyodo, Japan
Seson-ji temple stands in Kamihiso within the Yoshino District of Nara Prefecture, featuring a main hall and the Taishi-do Hall.
The temple's origins trace back to the Asuka period in the seventh century, receiving visits from Emperor Seiwa, Emperor Uda, and Fujiwara no Michinaga.
The temple maintains its Sōtō Buddhism traditions and houses a wooden standing statue of Eleven-faced Kannon, designated as a cultural asset.
