Buttsu-ji Temple
Built in 1397 by Shunpei Kobayakawa to welcome famed zen monk Guchū Shūkyū, who had trained in China during the Yuan Dynasty. Known as one of the most secluded temples in the world of Zen, it is often frequented by companies, schools, and more, for seminars and training. The temple buildings are surrounded by ancient cedar trees that are especially beautiful in the summer in shades of brilliant green. In the fall, dazzling foliage bursts into breathtaking colors. These natural wonders attract a large number of tourists every year.
