Tojo-ji temple, Buddhist temple in Tsuchiura, Japan.

The Homotsukan hall within Tojo-ji Temple contains more than 20,000 religious items and 50,000 sutras in its extensive collection of Buddhist artifacts.

The temple gained prominence in Japanese Buddhism as a center for Esoteric Buddhist practices, preserving ancient traditions through multiple generations of monks.

Tojo-ji Temple displays the Ryokai Mandala paintings, which represent the Buddhist realms of enlightenment according to Esoteric Buddhist teachings.

The temple opens its treasure hall, Homotsukan, twice annually from March 20 to May 25 and September 20 to November 25 for public viewing.

The second floor of Homotsukan features a Tang Dynasty statue of Tobatsubishamon-ten alongside other religious sculptures from different periods.
