A truly impressive Buddhist temple founded back in 1661, which is the head temple of the Japanese Ōbaku Zen sect. The temple structures were constructed in Ming China's architectural style, depicting an image of a dragon. Check out its map in one of the photos, and you will realize just how huge it is. I immediately fell in love with this temple; it was so calm and peaceful. There were only a couple of visitors except me, and apparently, it never gets crowded despite how grand and beautiful it is. There is no particular route to follow, so I would recommend relaxing and just walking around to discover as many awesome things in there as possible.
