神宮寺, Buddhist temple in Tsurugi, Japan.

Jinguji Temple features a central hall with shimenawa ropes and stairs leading to an elevated platform overlooking the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The main hall of Jinguji Temple underwent reconstruction in 1553 during the Muromachi period, incorporating decorative elements featuring elephants and tapirs.

The temple represents the historical coexistence of Shinto and Buddhist practices in Japan, with both religious elements present in its architectural design.

Visitors can access the temple grounds between June and October, with dedicated parking spaces available near the entrance.

The temple maintains a sacred well used for water drawing ceremonies, connecting it to ancient rituals at Todaiji Temple in Nara.
