Kōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-ku, Japan.

The temple buildings feature traditional wooden architecture with curved roofs and include a main hall for sacred objects and a lecture hall for meetings.

The temple carries forward Buddhist traditions from the 6th century when the religion first arrived in Japan from Korea through architectural elements.

Morning devotions called gongyo allow visitors to participate in Buddhist practices while maintaining silence to respect the monks' daily activities.

The temple provides lodging facilities with tatami-floored rooms and futons, offering vegetarian meals that exclude meat, fish, dairy, and eggs.

Temple gardens integrate natural elements into meditation spaces, following specific architectural arrangements based on traditional geomantic principles.
