Zenpuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Moto-Azabu, Japan.
The temple complex features traditional wooden structures, including a main hall registered as a tangible cultural property of Minato City.
Established in 824 by Buddhist master Kukai, Zenpuku-ji served as the first United States embassy in Japan during 1859 under Townsend Harris.
The temple grounds contain numerous graves of notable Japanese figures, including Yukichi Fukuzawa, the founder of Keio University.
Visitors can reach the temple through Azabu-juban Station, served by both Tokyo Metro Nanboku Line and Toei Oedo Line.
A 750-year-old ginkgo tree, designated as a natural monument, stands within the temple grounds and survived the World War II air raids.
