Taisan-ji, Buddhist temple in Kobe, Japan
The temple features a main hall measuring 21 meters wide and 18 meters deep, with copper-covered roofs and traditional sliding lattice doors.
Founded in 716 during the Nara period by Fujiwara no Umakai, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1300 following earlier fire damage.
The temple halls combine Japanese architectural elements with Chinese design influences, reflecting the cultural exchange during medieval periods.
Visitors can reach Taisan-ji by taking a 10-minute drive north from Takamaru Interchange on the Second Meishin Expressway.
The temple grounds contain an 11-hectare primeval forest designated as a prefectural natural monument, with a carved cliff Buddha along Ikawa River.
