Tōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Takanawa, Japan
The temple compound features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden gates, stone paths, and meditation gardens surrounded by evergreen trees.
Founded in 1609 by regional lord Ito Sukeyoshi, Tozen-ji moved to its current location in 1636, becoming one of the four major temples of Edo.
The temple belongs to the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, providing meditation spaces and religious ceremonies for local practitioners and visitors.
Visitors can reach the temple through Takanawa Gateway Station or Sengakuji Station, with guided tours available during regular opening hours.
During the 1860s, the temple grounds housed the first British Embassy in Japan, marking a significant period in Japanese-Western relations.
