Senju-in, Buddhist temple in Matsue, Japan
Senju-in temple stands on elevated ground with traditional wooden structures and features a main hall containing Buddhist statues and religious artifacts.
The temple originated in 594 when Chishun Shonin constructed it following the reported healing of Empress Suiko's eye condition through prayer interventions.
The temple maintains two bronze Kannon statues from 692, designated as National Important Cultural Properties, representing early Buddhist sculptural traditions in Japan.
The temple grounds remain open for visitors who can reach the location within 25 minutes by car from Unshu-Hirata Station on the Ichibata Electric Railway.
The temple holds dual principal images of both Senju Kannon and Yakushi Nyorai, marking an unusual religious configuration in Japanese Buddhist institutions.
