Jōzen-ji

Jōzen-ji features a main hall, traditional Japanese gardens, and religious statues representing Buddhist art throughout the temple grounds.

Established in 1393, the temple relocated to its current location in 1598 during the period when Ieyasu Tokugawa moved to establish his government.

The temple maintains Pure Land Buddhist traditions through regular ceremonies, including the practice of nembutsu prayer recitation.

Regular bus services connect the temple to Hyūga Station, with the temple remaining open to visitors from morning until late afternoon.

The temple houses a collection of ancient Buddhist texts stored in specialized revolving bookshelves dating back to the early 17th century.
