Kōbō-ji, Buddhist temple in Oyama, Japan

Kōbō-ji features traditional Japanese architectural elements, including stone lanterns and gardens that follow classical Buddhist temple design principles.

Founded in 755, this temple stands as one of the earliest Buddhist establishments in the Oyama region, maintaining its religious functions through centuries.

The temple grounds serve as a center for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practices, contributing to the preservation of religious traditions in Oyama.

Visitors can reach the temple via the Odakyu Electric Railway to Isehara Station, followed by local transportation through the Tanzawa mountain area.

The temple's position in the Tanzawa mountains allows visitors to observe Mount Fuji while participating in Buddhist practices and ceremonies.
