Jōshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Suhara-juku, Japan
The temple features traditional wooden structures, including a main hall, gate, and priest quarters designated as National Important Cultural Properties.
Established in 1380 by Chikatoyo Minamoto from the Kiso clan, the temple was relocated to its current location in 1598 after three flood destructions.
The temple belongs to the Myoshinji sect of Rinzai school and contains the spirit tablet of Yoshimasa Kiso, who ruled the Kiso Valley.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds throughout the year, with seven weeping cherry trees blooming in April and alpine roses appearing in early May.
The temple houses the first documented mention of soba noodles in Japan, found in records dating back to 1574.
