Butsugan-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-ku, Japan.

Butsugan-ji is a Buddhist temple housing a massive reclining Buddha statue within its main hall structure. The complex combines traditional temple architecture with surrounding gardens featuring water features and landscaped grounds.

The temple was established during a period when Buddhist architecture in Japan was evolving and taking new forms. Its design reflects influences from different periods of Japanese building traditions and religious developments.

The temple serves as a gathering place where visitors witness ceremonies connected to Buddhist traditions throughout the year. People come to observe religious practices and participate in seasonal festivals that mark important moments in Buddhist teachings.

The site is easily accessible and maintains regular daily hours for visitors. The grounds offer plenty of space to explore, and visitors should allow time to walk through the gardens and temple complex.

The temple grounds contain natural water features that subtly enhance the environment and create a refreshing quality for visitors. These elements are part of a thoughtfully designed garden that merges the natural surroundings with spiritual practice.
