誓願寺

Located among residential buildings, Seiganji Temple features traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and curved rooflines extending across multiple buildings.

The temple represents a continuation of Buddhist architectural traditions that emerged in Japan following the introduction of Buddhism from China in the 6th century.

Following Buddhist customs, the temple maintains a cemetery where local families visit their ancestral graves during important occasions throughout the year.

Visitors can participate in religious ceremonies, explore the temple grounds, and learn about Buddhist practices through guided tours available at specific times.

The temple bell rings precisely 108 times on New Year's Eve, symbolizing the release from earthly desires according to Buddhist teachings.
