Shūgen-ji

The Shūgen-ji temple stands within carefully maintained grounds, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and natural stone pathways through gardens.

Established in 1900 during a period of religious revival, the temple emerged when Shugendō practices were regaining recognition after the Meiji era restrictions.

The temple maintains connections to Shugendō traditions, incorporating mountain ascetic practices and Buddhist ceremonies that combine multiple religious elements.

Visitors can participate in daily meditation sessions and religious ceremonies, following provided guidelines for appropriate temple behavior and dress codes.

The temple grounds contain special areas dedicated to Shugendō practitioners who perform rituals combining Buddhist, Shinto, and folk religious elements.
