Zuisen-ji, Buddhist temple in Nanto, Japan.

The Zuisen-ji temple consists of multiple wooden structures decorated with detailed carvings crafted by skilled artisans from the Inami region.

Founded in 1390 by the fifth Honganji head priest Shakko, the temple experienced destruction during warfare in 1581 and underwent reconstruction in subsequent centuries.

The temple holds annual ceremonies including the Shinran Shonin memorial service on October 1st, featuring lectures, scripture readings, and ceremonial observances.

Visitors can access the temple grounds from 9:00 to 16:30, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults while elementary and middle school students enter free.

The Taiko-do, constructed in 1842, contains drums that were historically used to announce time to the surrounding community.
