Kinryu-ji Jinja

Kinryu-ji is a Soto Zen temple located in Ota, Gunma. As its name suggests, "Golden Dragon Temple," it is said to grant blessings of financial luck and business prosperity. Powerful dragon carvings adorn the precincts, and the temple sits close to the ruins of Kanayama Castle. Under the teachings of Soto Zen Buddhism, the serene grounds invite visitors to quiet their minds and connect with the spirit of Zen. Dragons have long been symbols of power and wealth in Japanese tradition, drawing those who seek their protection and blessings.
