Kōzan-ji, Buddhist temple in Inarichō, Japan
Located in the mountains, Kōzan-ji temple features stone chambers, tea rooms, and traditional gardens surrounded by maple trees and bamboo forests.
Established in 774 during the Nara period by Emperor Kōnin, the temple gained prominence in 1206 when Priest Myōe received the land from Emperor Go-Toba.
The temple holds the Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga scrolls, a collection of ink drawings depicting animals in human activities, recognized as early examples of Japanese manga.
The temple charges an entrance fee of 1000 yen per person, with additional fees during autumn, and operates daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
The temple grounds contain Japan's first recorded tea plantation, where Priest Myōe cultivated tea seeds, leading to the development of Uji tea cultivation.
