Seichō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamogawa, Japan
Located on Myōken Mountain, Seichō-ji Temple features a central gate from 1647 and stands within the Asahigamori Forest of Chiba Prefecture.
Founded in 771 by priest Fushigi, the temple underwent multiple transformations from Pure Land to Tendai, then Shingon, before becoming a Nichiren Buddhist institution.
The temple contains a collection of 4,000 sutras established by Hōjō Masako during the Kamakura period and maintains sacred Buddhist ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a community bus from Awa-Amatsu Station on the JR Sotobo Line and completing a short walk.
The temple grounds include a designated natural monument, a giant cedar tree measuring 48 meters in height with a 15-meter trunk circumference.
