草堂寺

The temple stands above stone steps leading to an open garden with views of mountains and the Pacific Ocean from its elevated position.

Built during the Edo period, the temple houses wall paintings created in 1786 by artist Rosetsu Nagasawa, designated as Important Cultural Properties in 1979.

The temple preserves multiple artworks by Japanese masters, including ink paintings of dragons, hermits, and nature scenes on silk and paper screens.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Shirahama Station to Tonda stop, followed by a walking path to the temple grounds.

The garden design incorporates both mountain and sea elements in its dry landscape, reflecting the natural geography of Wakayama prefecture.
