鹿苑寺, Buddhist temple in Mino, Japan.
The temple includes a main hall with a ceiling painted dragon and a hexagonal pavilion positioned on the former Gujo road mountain pass.
Founded in 1175 by monk Kakua as Rozan Daihiin temple, the complex was renamed Rokuon-ji in 1742 during its restoration by monk Mitsugan.
The temple houses several Buddhist statues designated as Important Cultural Properties, including a standing statue of Kannon from the late Heian period.
The temple holds a grand festival every second Saturday of February, during which visitors pray for protection from misfortune through the year.
From any viewing angle in the main hall, the painted dragon on the ceiling appears to follow visitors with its eyes.
