It retains the style of an older Zen temple in Japan, and the Buddhist temple is designated as a national treasure. Built in the 2nd year of the Kali calendar (1327), the double scull-style mountain gate and the oldest Buddhist temple (national treasure) in Japan that retains the style of a Zen temple tell visitors the glorious history of that time. In 1865, the famous samurai Takasugi Shinsaku raised his troops here (Gongshan Temple raised troops). In the courtyard, in addition to the statue of Takasugi Shinsaku, there are also the tombs of Ouchi Yoshicho (feudal princes). In addition, it is also a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms and maple leaves, and now it has become a well-known attraction.Show Less - No.4
