Jippo-ji

Jippo-ji temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements with carved wooden gates and a main hall dedicated to Buddhist ceremonies and meditation.

The temple traces its origins to the twelfth century when Shigemori Taira brought Buddhist teachings from China and established a foundation for spiritual practices.

The temple maintains a painted scroll of Amida Buddha, displayed only five times annually during special ceremonies that gather local worshippers.

Visitors can participate in meditation sessions throughout the year and learn about Buddhist practices through educational programs offered at the temple.

The temple's Sanmon gate, constructed in 1931, contains inscriptions from former Japanese Prime Minister Makoto Saito and intricate protective carvings.
