Shōryū-ji, Buddhist temple in Tenjin, Japan
Shōryū-ji temple exhibits wooden architecture with curved roofs, featuring meditation halls, sacred spaces, and gardens spread across its grounds.
Founded in 1602, the temple underwent substantial reconstruction after experiencing damage from an earthquake and tsunami in 1707 during the Edo period.
The temple functions both as a religious center and a monastery, where Buddhist monks perform daily rituals and maintain traditional practices.
Visitors can reach the temple through multiple public transportation options and participate in regular ceremonies that occur throughout the calendar year.
The temple houses a carved statue of Acala, depicted cutting through storm waves with a sword, symbolizing protection for seafarers.
