Yuge-ji, Buddhist temple in Ikeda, Japan.
Located at the foot of Ikeda Mountain, Yuge-ji temple grounds contain a pond with a waterfall, bamboo groves, and 20,000 hydrangea plants.
Founded in 817 by Buddhist master Saicho, the temple started as a Tendai sect establishment before converting to the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism.
The temple holds the ninth position along the Nishimino Thirty-Three Sacred Sites pilgrimage route, maintaining connections to traditional horse-related ceremonies.
Visitors can reach Yuge-ji through a 10-minute drive from Ibi Station on the Kintetsu Ibi Line, with the temple remaining open throughout the day.
Emperor Shirakawa changed the temple name after experiencing recovery in its hot springs, which were rediscovered during excavations in 2005.
