Byakugo-ji, Buddhist temple in Tamba, Japan.

The temple features an arched stone bridge called Taiko Bashi spanning across the Shinji-ike pond, where hundreds of Nishiki Koi fish swim.

Founded in 705 as part of the Tendai Buddhist sect, Byakugo-ji stands as one of the earliest Buddhist establishments in the Tamba mountain region.

The temple grounds display seasonal Japanese flora, including wisteria, carrot ferns, rosebays, water lilies, and lotus flowers throughout different times of the year.

Located at 709 Byakugoji in Ichijima-town, visitors can access the temple grounds and obtain information by contacting the administration office at 0795-85-0259.

The Taiko Bashi bridge serves as a physical representation of the connection between the mortal world and the Buddhist realm according to local beliefs.
