Ryukaiin, Buddhist temple in Okazaki, Japan.
The temple buildings feature traditional architectural elements including wooden beams, curved roofs, and detailed carvings that characterize Japanese Buddhist construction methods.
Founded during the Muromachi period, Ryukaiin maintains connections to Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, an influential figure in regional development and grandfather of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The temple belongs to the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism, which incorporates meditation practices and mindfulness teachings into daily religious activities.
Located in the Myōdaiji-chō district, the temple welcomes visitors from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and includes gardens, meditation halls, and ceremonial spaces.
The temple houses wooden statues of Buddha, with the central Shakyamuni figure attributed to the craftsmanship of the master sculptor Unkei.
