Yusan-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuroi, Japan

The temple grounds contain a three-story pagoda measuring 23.8 meters in height, surrounded by dense vegetation and flowing streams.

Founded in 701 by Gyoki, the temple gained prominence when Empress Koken recovered from an eye ailment after using water from the Ruri waterfall.

The temple hosts the annual Star Festival in January, during which secret rituals for protection and happiness continue for an entire month.

The temple complex includes parking facilities for 200 regular vehicles and 20 buses, with opening hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.

The temple gate originates from Kakegawa Castle, representing the only remaining castle gate in Shizuoka Prefecture after its relocation in 1872.
