Zuiryuji Temple

瑞龍寺

Toyama · Chubu

National-treasure Zen temple in Takaoka, built c.1659 by the Kaga domain's third lord to mourn his father Maeda Toshinaga; its Sanmon gate, Butsuden (Buddha Hall) and Hatto (Lecture Hall) are jointly designated National Treasures — Toyama's only National Treasure structure.

Why we picked it

The Gokayama/Kurobe cluster absorbs almost all of Toyama's tourist attention; Zuiryuji is a genuine, intact National Treasure temple complex sitting quietly in workaday Takaoka rather than a postcard mountain village.
