Seirin-ji, Buddhist temple in Mukōgaoka, Japan.

The Seirin-ji temple grounds contain traditional Japanese halls and pagodas, surrounded by gardens designed for meditation and contemplation.

Established in 1483, the temple became a central religious site during a period when Buddhism strengthened its influence throughout Japan.

The temple maintains the customs of the Tendai Buddhist sect through regular ceremonies, meditation sessions, and religious instruction for the community.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds through marked pathways, with designated areas for prayer and specific protocols for participating in religious activities.

The temple bell structure features detailed metalwork patterns that demonstrate the craftsmanship techniques of 15th-century Japanese artisans.
