Ryūfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Inzai, Japan.

Ryufuku-ji features traditional Buddhist architecture with multiple halls and structures spread across its extensive grounds at the heart of Inzai prefecture.

Founded in 807 during the Heian period, the temple gained prominence when the Chiba clan became its primary patron in 1118 and constructed multiple buildings.

The temple maintains an active schedule of Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions, connecting the local community with centuries-old religious traditions.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available upon request at the main reception building.

The temple's name originates from a legend about a small dragon that brought rain without permission and was split into three parts by the Dragon King.
