龍海院, Buddhist temple in Maebashi, Japan

Ryukaiin Temple stands within the urban fabric of Maebashi, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and ornate decorative elements.

The temple maintains strong connections to the Sakai clan, who governed Maebashi from 1601 to 1749 and selected this location as their family burial ground.

The temple belongs to the Sotoshu sect of Zen Buddhism, incorporating meditation practices and religious ceremonies that continue Japanese spiritual traditions.

Located at 2-8-15 Koun-cho in Maebashi, the temple opens its grounds to visitors interested in Buddhist architecture and historical monuments.

The temple cemetery contains the graves of multiple generations of Sakai clan members, making it a primary source for studying feudal leadership in Gunma Prefecture.
