Jōruri-ji (浄瑠璃寺) is a temple of the Shingon Ritsu school with an historic Japanese garden located in Kizugawa, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
Similar to temples of Pure Land Buddhism, it is laid out around a large pond, which represents the ocean that separates birth and death.
In the center of the pond is an island symbolizing earth, connected to the shore by a stone slab bridge.
To the east of the lake is a three-story pagoda which represents the Eastern Paradise of Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of healing.
On either side of the pond are stone lanterns dating to 1366, which are classified as Important Cultural Properties by the Japanese government.
