Chōraku-ji, Buddhist temple in Yobitsugi district, Japan
Chōraku-ji is a Buddhist temple featuring wooden structures, traditional gardens, and religious objects that display classical Japanese temple design. The buildings combine skilled craftsmanship with carefully arranged outdoor spaces that create room for contemplation.
The temple emerged centuries ago as a Buddhist center and shaped the region's religious landscape. Its ongoing importance is reflected in its role as a place of spiritual life to this day.
The temple draws worshippers throughout the year who gather for ceremonies and meditation within its halls. You can observe how daily rhythms here revolve around prayer and spiritual practice.
