Zuiganji, Buddhist temple in Tokushima, Japan

The temple complex features buildings with traditional wooden architecture and decorative elements from both Buddhist and military design traditions.

The temple stands as a testament to religious transformation, transitioning from Tendai to Zen Buddhism under Hojo Tokimune during the Kamakura period.

The main hall exhibits wall paintings from 1620 that display the artistic techniques and religious symbolism of the Momoyama period in Japan.

The temple welcomes visitors throughout the year with admission fees of 700 yen for adults and 400 yen for children under twelve.

The temple grounds contain caves carved into rocky cliffs that monks used for meditation and later served as repositories for memorial ashes.
