Zuiryuuji Temple

高岡市関本町35

4.4(3791)

A Soto sect temple located in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, featuring three structures designated as National Treasures: the Butuden (Buddha Hall), the Dodo (Dharma Hall), and the Sanmon (Mountain Gate). Established to mourn Maeda Toshinaga, the temple is also recognized as a Japanese Heritage site.

History

This Soto sect temple was founded to mourn Maeda Toshinaga, the second lord of the Kaga Domain. It was later renamed Zuiryuuin by Maeda Toshitsune, taking its name from Toshinaga's posthumous Buddhist name. Construction began in 1645 CE (Shoho 2). The temple received protection from the Maeda family throughout the early modern period and features a temple complex layout modeled after the Jingshan Wanshou Temple in China.

What visitors say

This renowned temple boasts a beautifully symmetrical temple complex layout and a solemn atmosphere. The National Treasure structures—the Sanmon, Butuden, and Dodo—exude a sense of weight and grandeur, and strolling through the corridor surrounding the Butuden is a popular activity. In winter, the interiors can be cold, so wearing thick socks is recommended. The surrounding area has paved roads, making it easy to walk to the station.
