Zenkoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Kagurazaka, Japan.

The temple features traditional vermilion architecture with a main gate, bell tower, and multiple structures surrounded by carefully maintained gardens and outdoor spaces.

Tokugawa Ieyasu constructed the temple in 1595 in Nihonbashi Bakurocho, and it was relocated to its current location in Kagurazaka during 1792.

The temple houses a protected statue of Bishamon, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, and serves as a central location for local festivals and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can access the temple from 7 AM to 7 PM without admission fees, with convenient access through multiple subway lines from Iidabashi Station.

The temple attracts numerous fans of the boyband Arashi, who write wishes on wooden ema plaques following the 2007 drama filming of Haikei, Chichiue-sama.
