Keirinji, Buddhist temple near Maizuru West Port, Japan
Keirinji Temple features three ornate gates, with the first two visible from the road and the third positioned at a higher elevation with Chinese architectural elements.
The bell tower gate and a painting of a reclining Buddha were gifts from the Hosokawa Clan to honor the temple's role during the Battle of Tanabe Castle.
The temple displays its three-meter-tall reclining Buddha painting on February 15th during Parinirvana Day, marking an important Buddhist observance.
Visitors can reach the temple within 15 minutes on foot from JR Nishi-Maizuru Station, following the path toward Maizuru West Port.
The temple maintains a tradition of offering tea and snacks to guests outside the worship halls, despite limited regular staff presence.
