Tentoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Akita, Japan.
The main hall of Tentoku-ji features a thatched roof and two entrance gates, with the second one flanked by red carved demon statues.
Dating back 300 years, Tentoku-ji holds deep connections to the local daimyo and the Sakata Clan, who maintained their residence within the temple grounds.
The temple grounds contain 88 carved Buddha statues representing elements of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, along with small monk statues performing sweeping gestures.
The temple stands at 10-1 Izumimitakene in Akita, accessible within 35 minutes by walking from Akita Station or 25 minutes by local bus service.
The main hall of Tentoku-ji opens to the public only one day per year, requiring visitors to contact the temple for specific access dates.
