Tōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Sasebo, Japan.

Located on Iwatomi Mountain, Tōzen-ji temple features traditional Japanese architecture and houses a standing statue of Yakushi Nyorai from the Muromachi period.

Founded by monk Gyōki between 708 and 715, the temple moved to its current location in 986 and served as the main temple for the Matsura clan.

The temple functions as the 74th pilgrimage site on the Kyushu 88 Sacred Places route and maintains traditional Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.

Visitors can reach Tōzen-ji through a 15-minute walk from Honmatsu Station on the Matsuura Railway line, with daily operating hours from 9 AM to 5 PM.

A 500-year-old camphor tree, designated as a natural monument of Nagasaki Prefecture, stands next to the temple gate.
