Maeda sokunen-ji

Maeda sokunen-ji temple complex contains multiple pavilions arranged around a central axis, with traditional architectural elements characteristic of Zen Buddhism.

The temple marks the location of the former Maeda castle and stands as the birthplace of Maeda Toshiie, a notable general who served under Oda Nobunaga.

The temple maintains connections to the Maeda clan through preserved grave sites and symbolic representations of the family emblem featuring plum blossoms.

The temple provides guided tours and educational programs throughout the year, allowing visitors to learn about its architectural features and religious practices.

The temple grounds integrate both religious structures and memorial elements, creating a space that honors the legacy of the influential Maeda samurai clan.
