Ten'on-ji, Buddhist temple in Okazaki, Japan.

Ten'on-ji features a prominent two-story pagoda and contains screen doors decorated with illustrations by artist Reizei Tamechika within its grounds.

Matsudaira Chikatada established this temple in 1475 as a memorial site for fallen Matsudaira soldiers and subsequent generations of Tokugawa Shoguns.

The temple preserves graves of eight Matsudaira generations, along with Buddhist memorial tablets dedicated to Tokugawa shoguns as Important Cultural Properties.

The temple welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 16:00 daily, with entrance fees of 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for elementary students.

A direct three-kilometer path called Vista Line connects Ten'on-ji temple with Okazaki Castle, providing an unobstructed view between these historical structures.
