Zuiganji, Buddhist temple in Matsushima, Japan
The temple complex contains cedar-lined paths and meditation caves carved into rock formations alongside traditional Buddhist architecture and gardens.
Established in 828 by priest Jikaku Daishi, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1609 under samurai lord Date Masamune as his family religious center.
The main hall presents intricate gold leaf paintings of seasonal themes and displays three memorial tablets honoring the founding rulers of Sendai.
The temple welcomes visitors from 8:00 to 17:00 during summer months, with admission fees of 700 yen for adults and 400 yen for children.
The temple incorporates castle defense elements such as nightingale floors and watchtowers, reflecting the turbulent period of its construction.
