Otagi Nenbutsu-ji, Buddhist temple in Saga Toriimoto, Kyoto, Japan
The temple complex contains 1200 stone statues of rakan disciples, each carved with different facial expressions and standing in various poses throughout the grounds.
Founded in 766 by Emperor Koken, the temple relocated from Higashiyama to its current location after flooding damaged the original structures in the Heian period.
The main hall, designated as an Important Cultural Property, represents traditional Kamakura period architecture with curved wooden ceilings and mountain plateau construction.
Visitors can access the temple daily between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM for an entrance fee of 400 yen, with the last admission at 4:15 PM.
The temple houses the Yakuyoke Senju Kanon deity for protection against misfortune and the Hinokuyoshin no Bosatsu fire-protecting deity in its Jizo hall.
