普門院, Buddhist temple in Saitama, Japan

The Fumonji temple complex includes traditional wooden structures with gates, halls, and gardens arranged according to Buddhist architectural principles.

The temple maintains centuries-old Buddhist practices and serves as a monastery where monks perform daily rituals and ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors to the temple observe traditional customs such as removing shoes before entering buildings and participating in incense burning ceremonies.

The temple grounds remain open from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated areas for prayer, meditation, and the contemplation of Buddhist teachings.

During New Year celebrations, the temple bell rings exactly 108 times to symbolize the release from earthly desires in Buddhist philosophy.
