世明寿寺

Seimeijuji is a Buddhist temple in Higashimatsuyama featuring traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, curved roofs, and meditation spaces organized around a central hall. The grounds include multiple buildings containing residential areas, prayer rooms, and open spaces.

The temple was established as a Soto Zen center and has preserved and passed down spiritual practices and religious ceremonies over many centuries. This continuous tradition still shapes how the place operates and is organized today.

The temple functions as a center for Zen practice, where visitors can observe meditation sessions and witness religious ceremonies that shape the rhythm of local life. These spiritual activities happen throughout the complex and show how Buddhism is lived here daily.

The grounds are accessible year-round and offer parking facilities for visitors arriving by car. Walking paths from the nearest train station make it easy to reach even without a vehicle.

The gardens change appearance with each season, creating different settings for meditation and contemplation. Visitors can watch how plants and trees transform throughout the year, making the place look entirely different.
