Tōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kofu, Japan.
The temple features traditional architecture with a main hall dedicated to Bhaisajyaguru, alongside a carefully maintained rock garden created by Lanxi Daolong.
The temple received protection from Takeda Shingen 500 years ago as part of the Kofu Gozan system, which organized Buddhist temples on the slopes.
The rock garden, recognized as a prefectural cultural property, displays seasonal changes with iris flowers adding natural elements to the stone arrangement.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 300 yen for adults.
The temple contains the graves of Shingen's son Yoshinobu and Suwa Yorishige, who both ended their lives within these walls following political conflicts.
