Zenkō-ji Tōkai Betsuin, Buddhist temple in Inazawa, Japan

The temple features decorated prayer halls containing religious artifacts and a notable reclining Buddha statue within its traditional Japanese architecture complex.

Founded in 642 AD by Yoshimitsu Honda, the temple houses a sacred Amida Triad Sharing One Halo image that arrived from India through the Paekche kingdom.

The temple maintains its status as a Non Sect establishment, welcoming practitioners regardless of their social status, gender, or religious background.

Since 654, the main Buddhist image remains completely hidden from public view, with no individual permitted to see it directly.
