Hongan-ji Kanazawa Betsuin

The Hongan-ji Kanazawa Betsuin features traditional wooden structures with intricate interior designs and incorporates elements of Japanese religious architecture throughout its grounds.

Founded during the Edo Period, this branch temple of the Higashi Honganji underwent substantial reconstruction in the Meiji Period following earlier destruction.

The temple maintains its role as a center for Jodo Shinshu Buddhism through regular ceremonies, meditation sessions, and spiritual guidance provided by resident monks.

Located in central Kanazawa, the temple welcomes visitors during designated hours and provides guided tours explaining Buddhist practices and architectural elements.

The main hall contains specific areas designated for community gatherings and religious ceremonies, reflecting the temple's dual function as a spiritual and social center.
