寒山寺, Buddhist temple in Ome, Japan

Kanzan-ji Temple stands on the western edge of Tokyo Prefecture, featuring traditional wooden architecture and meditation spaces for Buddhist practices.

The temple was established in 1929 as a Japanese interpretation of the original Hanshan Temple from Suzhou, China, which dates back to the 6th century.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions, connecting local residents with traditional Japanese spiritual practices.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking the JR Chuo Line to Ome Station and following the marked walking path through residential streets.

The temple combines elements from both Japanese and Chinese Buddhist traditions, reflecting the cultural exchange between these two nations.
