Kyōou-ji

The temple complex contains wooden structures with sliding doors, traditional gardens, and architectural features that follow Japanese temple design principles.

Established as a nembutsu seminary in 1393, the temple relocated to its current location in 1598 during the early Tokugawa period administration.

The temple distinguishes itself through a monk who incorporates hip-hop elements into Buddhist teachings, creating new methods of spiritual communication.

The temple remains open throughout the day and provides guidance materials for visitors who wish to learn about Buddhist practices and temple customs.

The temple maintains a collection of Five Hundred Arhat Scrolls created by painter Kano Kazunobu, depicting Buddhist teachings through traditional artworks.
