The Zuiryū-ji is a Buddhist temple in Takaoka (Toyama Prefecture) from back in 1613.
They started expanding the grounds in 1645. When it was finished in 1663, it covered a massive 118,800 m² and was surrounded by two moats.
The Buddha Hall is right in the centre. It’s flanked by the main gate, a prayer hall with a tea house, a Zen building for meditation, and a dining hall. Corridors link the side buildings together.
You’ll find Zuiryū-ji between the Shin-Takaoka and Takaoka railway stations, and it’s about a 15-minute walk from either one. Entry is 500¥.
