Syosyuji

Syosyuji temple features traditional wooden architecture with a main meditation hall and supporting structures arranged around a central stone garden courtyard.

The temple emerged during the expansion of Buddhist influence across Japan, becoming an integral part of Kariya's religious development through centuries.

Regular meditation sessions and Buddhist ceremonies take place at the temple, allowing visitors to experience traditional Japanese spiritual practices.

The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with special ceremonies requiring advance registration through the temple administration office.

Guardian statues known as Niō stand at the temple entrance, carved from local stone according to ancient Japanese craftsmanship techniques.
