Wakoji, Buddhist temple in Nishi-ku, Japan.

The temple occupies a rectangular area with traditional Japanese architectural features, including an Amidado hall and Goeido founder's hall within its grounds.

Wakoji temple belongs to the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha Buddhist organization, which traces its origins to the teachings of Shinran Shonin in the 13th century.

The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist practices, offering visitors and practitioners a space for spiritual contemplation and religious ceremonies.

Students from Ryukoku University wearing turquoise blue jackets provide English guidance at the Goeido gate during weekends to assist international visitors.
