Renge-ji, Buddhist temple in Aomori, Japan.

The temple complex features traditional wooden architecture with sliding doors that frame views of the meticulously maintained garden and stone sculptures.

Founded in 1057, Renge-ji underwent a significant reconstruction in 1641, when the stone statues of the five wisdom Buddhas were installed.

The temple performs monthly homa rituals and hosts a special cucumber-sealing ceremony in July for healing prayers related to chronic illnesses.

Renge-ji welcomes visitors from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM during regular season and adjusts hours to 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter months.

The temple preserves a collection of ancient stone Buddha statues in an open-air setting, distinguishing it from other religious structures in the region.
