Jōbutsu-ji, Buddhist temple in Kanagawa-Honchō, Japan.
The temple grounds contain multiple wooden structures designed according to traditional Japanese temple architecture, including halls for worship and meditation.
Zen master Shinchi Kakushin founded Jōbutsu-ji in 1290, following his studies under Chinese Rinzai master Wumen Huikai and establishing the Hottō lineage.
The temple maintains regular Zen meditation sessions and teachings that continue the practices established by Shinchi Kakushin in the thirteenth century.
Visitors can access the temple grounds through public transportation, with nearby stations providing convenient connections to central Kanagawa Prefecture.
The temple preserves manuscripts and texts related to the Fuke sect, which incorporated shakuhachi flute playing as a form of meditation practice.
