Zuiryū-ji, Soto Zen Buddhist temple in Takaoka, Japan
The temple complex features symmetrical corridors connecting various buildings, including the Sanmon Gate, Butsuden Hall, and Hatto Lecture Hall.
The temple was established in 1613 by Maeda Toshinaga, the second daimyo of Kaga Domain, and underwent major expansion under his brother Toshitsune until 1663.
The temple buildings demonstrate the Zenshūyō architectural style, incorporating elements from Chinese Buddhist temple design introduced during the 13th century.
Located between Takaoka and Shin-Takaoka stations, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM with an admission fee of 500 yen.
The temple contains statues of Ususama Myo-o, a Buddhist deity traditionally placed near washrooms to represent purification and cleanliness.
