Kasui-sai, Buddhist temple in Fukuroi, Japan
The temple complex covers over 330,000 square meters of land, featuring 25 buildings and 40 different points of interest across its grounds.
Founded in 1401 by Zen Master Jōchū Ten'i, Kasui-sai temple has maintained its position as a spiritual center for over six centuries.
The temple functions as a specialized training monastery where Soto Zen Buddhist monks practice meditation and study religious texts each morning from 5 AM.
Visitors can participate in meditation sessions, stay overnight in temple lodging, and taste traditional vegetarian Buddhist cuisine prepared by resident monks.
The temple houses Japan's largest statue of Ucchusmavijaya and offers fortune papers that visitors retrieve using bamboo fishing rods.
