Syoujuan, Buddhist temple in Iiyama, Japan
Located on the slopes of Mount Kone, Shojuan Temple features a thatched-roof main hall with a wooden veranda that encircles the entire structure.
The temple, established in 1666 by Dokyo Etan, suffered destruction during the 1847 Zenkoji earthquake and underwent reconstruction using original materials.
Shojuan Temple holds significance in Rinzai Zen Buddhism as the training ground of Hakuin Ekaku, who later became the reviver of the Rinzai school.
Visitors can reach the temple within a 15-minute walk from Iiyama Station on the JR East Iiyama Line, with prior contact recommended at 0269-62-3495.
The temple grounds include the Hakuin Kerakuzaka stone path, marking the location where Master Hakuin first arrived to meet his teacher Dokyo Etan.
