Kanzen-ji temple, Buddhist temple in Nagasaki, Japan.

Kanzen-ji temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures, stone paths, and a garden reflecting Zen principles.

Founded in 1628 by a Tang dynasty Chinese priest, the temple was destroyed during the 1945 atomic bombing and later rebuilt with modern elements.

The temple maintains regular zazen meditation sessions and religious ceremonies that connect local residents with traditional Buddhist practices.

Located a 10-minute walk from JR Nagasaki Station, the temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with five parking spaces available.

The temple houses a large statue of Guanyin Buddha mounted on a turtle's back, distinguishing it from other Buddhist temples in the region.
