Kakurin-ji, Buddhist temple in Kakogawa, Japan
The Kakurin-ji temple complex contains eight buildings, including a three-story pagoda, bell tower, and multiple halls spread across its grounds.
Prince Shotoku ordered the establishment of Kakurin-ji in 589, following the arrival of Korean monk Eben who fled from the Mononobe clan.
The temple maintains traditional Buddhist practices, offering visitors opportunities to participate in Zen meditation sessions within rooms fitted with tatami mats.
Located 25 minutes from JR Kakogawa Station, the temple opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00 with an entrance fee of 500 yen.
The main building contains five Buddhist statues that remain concealed from public view, opening for display only once every sixty years.
