Joen-ji

Joen-ji temple stands within the developed area of Nishi-Shinjuku, creating a notable contrast between traditional architecture and modern skyscrapers of Tokyo.

The temple follows the teachings of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, which places strong emphasis on the study and practice of the Lotus Sutra.

Within its grounds, the temple maintains spaces for meditation and religious ceremonies, preserving Buddhist traditions in the center of Tokyo.

Located near the Ome Highway, the temple provides free entry to visitors and includes facilities for both religious ceremonies and community gatherings.

The temple grounds contain a cemetery that provides resting places for both humans and pets, reflecting Japanese views about the connection between all living beings.
