Renkō-in, Buddhist temple in Tsu, Japan.
The temple complex includes multiple structures with high earthen walls, gates, and a bell tower that resembles a small castle.
Founded in 1226 by monk Shinran Shonin, Renkō-in became the principal temple of the Takada branch within the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist sect.
Seven buildings in the temple grounds hold recognition as Prefectural Cultural Assets, preserving traditional Buddhist architectural elements.
Located five minutes from JR Isshinda Station, the temple maintains a treasure house and tea house that require advance reservations for visits.
The inner sanctum features gold leaf pillars and a distinctively colored roof design that incorporates patterns similar to peacock feathers.
