Jikō-ji, Buddhist temple in Tokigawa, Japan

Jikō-ji temple includes a three-meter-tall Buddha statue and numerous historical structures representing traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture.

The Buddhist priest who established Jikō-ji in 673 AD selected this location in the Saitama Prefecture for its spiritual significance.

The temple maintains its position as a stop along the Bandō Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route, featuring the Amidanyorai Buddha of the Jodo Sect.

Visitors seeking information about temple access and opening hours can contact the Tokigawa city promotion office for detailed guidance.

The temple houses the Hokyointo, a designated Hyogo prefectural cultural asset, alongside Chinese ink drawings recognized as Takasago municipal treasures.
