Gohyakurakan-ji, Buddhist temple in Shimo-Meguro, Japan
The temple houses a collection of 300 arhat statues, with each stone figure displaying individual characteristics and expressions carved by skilled artisans.
Tetsugen Doko established Gohyakurakan-ji temple in 1695, dedicating the sacred space to commemorate those who worked at the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine.
The temple contains a prominent 3.5-meter Jizo statue, representing the Buddhist guardian deity who protects travelers and children in Japanese religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the temple through Fudo-mae Station on the Meguro line or Meguro Station on the Yamanote line, with entrance fees of 500 yen.
Three stone bridges span across a small stream within the temple grounds, maintaining their original structure from the temple's founding period.
