Chikurin-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashihiroshima, Japan
The temple complex features a prominent red five-story pagoda set against traditional Japanese gardens with stone paths and maple trees.
Established in 724, Chikurin-ji temple has maintained its position as a center for Buddhist learning and spiritual practices for over 1300 years.
The temple enshrines Monju Bosatsu, the Buddhist deity of wisdom, making it a frequent destination for students seeking success in their studies.
