Rakukyu-ji
高梁市頼久寺町１８
A Zen Buddhist temple of the Rinzai school's Eison-ji branch located in Takahashi City, Okayama Prefecture, renowned for its nationally designated scenic garden designed by the famous landscape architect Koriyama Enshu.
History
The temple was re-established in 1339 CE by Ashikaga Takauji under the name Ankoku-ji, with Zen master Jakushitsu Genko serving as its founding patron. During the Eicho period, Ueno Rakukyu oversaw the temple's maintenance and development. Following his death, the temple was renamed Ankoku Rakukyu-ji in his honor. In the early Edo period, the garden was designed by Koriyama Enshu and is currently designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
