龍光寺, Buddhist temple in Sakura, Japan.

The temple complex contains fifty-four stone monuments and stone lanterns arranged within a structured area of four hundred square meters.

Founded by Ashikaga Takauji, the temple was initially named Sokurinji and served as an Ankoku-ji temple in Shimotsuke Province.

The temple maintains the ancestral graves of the Ashikaga family and serves as a spiritual center for Buddhist ceremonies and local traditions.

Visitors can access Ryukoji Temple at 4317 Kitsuregawa, Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, with transportation details available through official channels.

The temple changed its name to Ryukoji based on the Buddhist name of Yorikiyo, who received burial rites here in 1601.
