Jakuen-ji

Jakuen-ji displays traditional Japanese temple architecture with wooden structures, curved rooflines, and a main hall for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation.

The temple dates back to 1278 when a Fujiwara clan member constructed it to recognize monk Jakuen's dedication to promoting Zen practices.

The temple belongs to the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism, where practitioners focus on meditation techniques and study ancient Buddhist texts.

Visitors can access the temple grounds to observe Buddhist ceremonies, participate in meditation sessions, and learn about Zen Buddhist traditions.

During his time at Jakuen-ji, Buddhist master Keizan achieved enlightenment while studying, contributing to the temple's reputation in Zen education.
