Kushoji Temple

The sub-temple at Sotoshu Enjo Temple's first dojo and Unryu-in is located around a seven-minute drive from JR Takayama Station. It was built in 1402 as the last temple. In the front of the mountain is the Gannoden, and apart from the the Honzon (principal image of Buddha), there are many attendants are enshrined in it. In 1827, it was promoted in the era of Mokuyoushinryo and it was founded as the current Kyusoji. Within its premise, a well-maintained pine tree is stretching out and it makes the Hida architecture even more beautiful. The shrine hall of the main hall and kitchen hall and the bell tower are side by side, and you can feel the solemn atmosphere specific to the Higashiyama Teramachi.
