Buttsū-ji, Buddhist temple in Mihara, Japan

The Buttsū-ji temple stands on elevated ground with traditional Japanese architecture, featuring multiple wooden structures and connected walkways between buildings.

During its establishment in 1397, Kobayakawa Haruhira selected Buttoku Daitsu Zenji as the first abbot to lead this Rinzai school branch.

As part of the Chūgoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage route, the temple maintains regular ceremonies and meditation sessions for both monks and visitors.

The temple complex opens its gates to visitors at 22 Motoyama, Takasaka-chō in Mihara, with dedicated areas for prayer and contemplation.

This temple heads one of fourteen independent branches of Rinzai Zen Buddhism, overseeing forty-seven affiliated temples across the region.
