Tentoku-in, Buddhist temple in Kanazawa, Japan.

The temple complex features long halls surrounding a green inner cloister, with stone monuments and a traditional purification area at the entrance.

The temple was established around 1640 by Maeda Toshitsune to honor his wife Tamahime, the granddaughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, after her death at age 24.

The temple maintains a collection of mechanical dolls depicting the life of Tamahime, along with Buddhist statues and family treasures from the Maeda period.

Visitors can access the temple from March to November between 9:00 and 16:30, with an entrance fee of 500 yen plus an additional 500 yen for tea ceremonies.

The wedding procession of three-year-old Tamahime from Edo to Kanazawa took 90 days, requiring road repairs and new inns along the entire route.
