Gensō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kumagaya, Japan
The temple buildings feature traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures, curved roofs, and intricate ornamental details throughout the complex.
Ryonen Genso, a notable Japanese monk, teacher, and poet from 1646 to 1711, created educational programs at the temple for children in need.
The temple maintains traditional Buddhist practices while serving as a center for religious ceremonies, meditation sessions, and community gatherings in Kumagaya.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a local bus from Kumagaya Station, with regular services running throughout the day.
The temple gardens transform with each season, displaying cherry blossoms in spring and red maple leaves in autumn against the temple structures.
