瑞林寺, Buddhist temple in Minokamo, Japan

Zuirin-ji Temple stands amid traditional Japanese architecture with wooden buildings and stone monuments displaying poetry inscriptions throughout its grounds.

The temple received its alternative name 'Kaki-dera' after presenting local Hachiya persimmons to Shogun Ashikaga Yoshitane, who granted it special land rights.

The temple grounds contain stone monuments featuring haiku poems by Matsuo Basho and waka verses by writers Shoyo Tsubouchi and Hakushu Kitahara.

Located at 2-3-14 Otahonmachi, the temple welcomes visitors interested in Buddhist practices and maintains regular hours for meditation sessions.

The temple houses a 5-meter wooden statue of Buddha Maitreya, known as Hachiya Daibutsu, which was buried during wartime to protect it from destruction.
