Kōshō-in, Buddhist temple in Kiyokawa, Japan
Kōshō-in features multiple halls connected by covered walkways, with the main Goei-do Hall rising 28 meters above the temple grounds.
The temple underwent reconstruction in 1648 using materials from Fushimi Castle, under the direction of Lord Nagai Naomasa of Yodo Castle.
The temple belongs to the Jodo-Shinshu Buddhist tradition and maintains close connections with Nishi-Honganji Temple, sharing a protective moat system.
The temple complex opens daily from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a contribution of 500 yen required for entry into the main temple areas.
The temple incorporates specially designed nightingale floors that produce sounds when walked upon, functioning as an early warning system.
