Zuiun-in

The temple buildings follow traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures, characteristic curved roofs, and meditation spaces for religious practices.

Established in 1602 during the early Edo period, Zuiun-in temple became an important center for Pure Land Buddhism in the Shimogyō-ku district.

The temple grounds contain multiple meditation halls where Buddhist practitioners engage in regular ceremonies and rituals according to Pure Land traditions.

Visitors can access Zuiun-in through local transportation routes in Shimogyō-ku, with the temple maintaining regular opening hours for religious services.

The temple complex includes ancient caves that historically stored the ashes of deceased individuals, connecting the spiritual and memorial aspects of Buddhism.
