Dairin-ji, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku, Japan
The temple features white walls topped with traditional tiles, decorated gates, and several guardian statues watching over the entrance point.
Founded by monk Eigan Ritetsu, Dairin-ji stands as a testament to Buddhist practices in the Kanagawa Prefecture through generations.
The temple incorporates baku sculptures, elephant-like mythical creatures from Japanese folklore that protect against negative forces and consume nightmares.
The temple welcomes visitors throughout the day, offering opportunities to observe traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture and spiritual practices.
Under the eaves of the main hall, carved mythical beasts and a water basin with dragon decorations demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship.
