Yusan-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuroi, Japan
Yusan-ji is a Buddhist temple in Fukuroi with a three-story pagoda surrounded by dense vegetation and flowing streams. The grounds span multiple levels with various buildings that showcase traditional Japanese architecture and garden design.
The site was founded in the early 8th century and is connected to a legendary story about an empress who was healed by water from a sacred waterfall. This event solidified its reputation as a place of spiritual power.
The temple is associated with healing, and visitors can observe how water is venerated as a source of well-being. Annual ceremonies draw people seeking blessings and protection.
The temple is easily accessible and provides ample space for visitors arriving by car. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since the path leads through various levels of the grounds.
The most distinctive feature is the main gate, which originally came from a nearby castle and was relocated to the temple. It is one of the few surviving examples of its kind in the region.
