Ryufukuji
Ryufukuji is a Soto Zen temple in the rural town of Aikawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, whose crowning glory is an extraordinary 1778 mountain gate designed to evoke the Dragon Palace of Japanese legend. The gate — a town-designated cultural property — is a rare architectural gem that draws temple enthusiasts and curious day-trippers to this quiet corner of Sagamino.
