Taisan-ji, Buddhist temple and National Treasure in Matsuyama, Japan
The temple complex includes a main hall with a large tiled roof and stands on a hillside surrounded by cypress trees and bamboo groves.
Founded in the sixth century by a merchant from Kyushu who survived a shipwreck, the temple received imperial support during Emperor Shomu's reign.
The temple houses two wooden Juichimen Kannon statues from the Heian period and serves as temple number 52 on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage.
Visitors can access the temple via a 25-minute walk from the Taisanji Temple bus stop, with reception hours from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The bell tower contains a diorama depicting scenes of heaven and hell, with detailed representations of sinners receiving various punishments.
