Shōden-an, Buddhist temple in Wakabayashi-ku, Japan
Shōden-an Temple sits on a hillside location with views of the surrounding area through its main temple courtyard and receiving hall.
The temple was established 1300 years ago during migrations from Korea, when refugees received land grants from the Japanese Imperial Court.
The temple holds special significance during New Year celebrations, when visitors gather to mark the first three days with traditional ceremonies.
From Ikebukuro Station, visitors can reach the temple via the Seibu Ikebukuro Line to Hanno, followed by the Chichibu Line to Koma Station.
The temple features an unconventional bell tower design that incorporates elements different from traditional Japanese architectural patterns.
