Dragon Statue Temple, Buddhist temple in Chūō-ku, Japan.
The Dragon Statue Temple features a main hall with a prominent dragon painting stretching across its wooden ceiling spanning 49 meters in length.
The temple complex underwent major reconstruction in 1796 after a devastating fire in 1754 destroyed the original structures dating back to 1565.
The principal Buddha statue remains concealed from public view throughout the year, with ceremonial displays occurring every seven years according to religious traditions.
Visitors reach the temple through an 11-minute walk from Zenkoji station or a 14-minute walk from Sakaori station on different railway lines.
The temple contains a dark passage shaped like the Japanese character for heart, where visitors navigate by touch to locate a sacred lock.
