Kōon-ji, Buddhist temple in Hachioji, Japan

Kōon-ji temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements with a main hall, mountain gate, dharma hall, and bell tower within its grounds.

Established in 1389 by Oe Munechika, lord of Katakura Castle, the temple underwent reconstruction after fires during the siege of Odawara Castle in 1590.

The main hall contains a statue of Jizo Ganjo Bosatsu while the Dharma Hall houses a Miroku Bodhisattva statue, representing important Buddhist figures.

Located 7 minutes by foot from Yamada Station on the Keio Line, the temple welcomes visitors to explore its structures and participate in Buddhist ceremonies.

Ten sub-temples once existed within the temple grounds, demonstrating the historical scale of this religious complex designated by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
