Ryuuzoji Temple, officially known as Zuiunzan Shoken-in, is a serene Tendai Buddhist temple dedicated to Amida Nyorai (the Buddha of Infinite Light). Originally located within the Nikko mountains, the temple was relocated to its current site in 1625 during the Kan'ei era.

Though tragically destroyed by fire in 1864, it was lovingly rebuilt, preserving its sacred legacy. Within the temple grounds, you'll find a memorial honoring eight warriors from the Geishu Domain (modern-day Hiroshima) who lost their lives in the Boshin War.
