東漸寺

Tozenji Temple features traditional Buddhist architecture with multiple halls connected by covered walkways leading to the main prayer area and meditation spaces.

The temple belongs to the Seizan Pure Land Buddhist tradition, which emerged as a distinct branch of Japanese Buddhism during the medieval period.

The temple name Tozenji reflects the eastward movement of Buddhist teachings from India through China and Korea before reaching Japan.

Visitors can participate in meditation sessions, religious ceremonies, and educational programs about Buddhist practices throughout the calendar year.

The temple carries the mountain name Daihizan, meaning Great Compassion Mountain, following Chinese Buddhist naming traditions despite its urban location.
