Kōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Komagane, Japan.

The temple grounds contain a three-story pagoda standing 17 meters tall and multiple historic buildings surrounded by cedar trees and gardens.

Kōzen-ji temple, founded in 1434, received support from the Takeda clan and later obtained a 60 koku maintenance stipend from Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.

The traditional Japanese garden next to the Main Hall dates from the Kamakura period and earned National Places of Scenic Beauty status in 1967.

The temple elevation of 700 meters affects cherry blossom viewing times, requiring visitors to check seasonal schedules before planning their visit.

The Benten-dō structure from the Muromachi period holds National Important Cultural Property status and houses statues of the King of Eleven Faces.
