Ryutan-ji Temple (Myoshin-ji branch of Rinzai sect)
彦根市古沢町１１０４
A temple known for its beautiful gardens and the many Daruma statues enshrined within, also called 'Daruma-ji' or 'The Temple of the Garden.'
History
The temple became the family temple of the Ii clan after Ii Tomoyasu was buried here in the mid-Heian period. In the late Muromachi period, during the time of Ii Naheira, it became a temple of the Myoshin-ji branch of the Rinzai sect. In 1599 (Keicho 4), Ii Naomasa established the temple by splitting it off from a branch temple in Totomi Province.
