Saihō-in, Buddhist temple in Taishi, Japan.

The Saihō-in temple complex features traditional Japanese architectural elements with stone pathways leading through carefully maintained gardens and meditation spaces.

Three Buddhist nuns - Zenshin-ni, Zenzō-ni, and Ezen-ni - established this temple as a center for religious practice and community engagement in medieval Japan.

The temple maintains its position as a spiritual landmark within the New Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route, connecting Buddhist practitioners across multiple sacred sites.

Visitors need to participate in traditional Buddhist ceremonies and follow specific protocols when entering different areas of the temple grounds.

The temple preserves numerous historical texts and artifacts that document the development of Buddhist practices in the Taishi region over several centuries.
