Kogenji, Buddhist temple in Gyoda, Japan
Kogenji Temple features multiple structures including a main hall, bell tower, and pagoda surrounded by Japanese gardens on its mountainside location.
Founded in 1590 during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's siege of Odawara Castle, Kogenji Temple was built by Masaki Toshihide to honor fallen soldiers.
The temple belongs to the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, with Amida Buddha enshrined as the principal deity in the main worship hall.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily, with dedicated parking spaces available near the entrance gate for both cars and tour buses.
The temple cemetery, originally located on site, was relocated to the Wataryanagi district, at the former location of Ishida Mitsunari's military camp.
