Kinsenji — photo spot in 1122 Oppata, Ranzan, Hiki District, Saitama 355-0206, Japan

Kinsenji is a quiet Buddhist temple set against Ranzan's rolling hills — good for photographing traditional architecture, gateways, stone lanterns and seasonal foliage (maple in autumn, cherry blossoms in spring). Visit early morning for soft light and minimal visitors. Small car park nearby; modest footwear for stone paths. Respect worshippers and avoid flash indoors.more
