Yokohama Zenkō-ji

The temple complex includes a main hall, lecture halls, and additional buildings designed with traditional wooden architecture and curved roofs.

The establishment of Yokohama Zenkō-ji follows Japanese Buddhist temple construction principles that emerged after Buddhism arrived in Japan during the 6th century.

The temple maintains regular ceremonies throughout the year, connecting the local community through Buddhist practices and religious celebrations.

Visitors need to follow specific protocols, including purification at the temizuya fountain before entering the sacred areas of the temple.

The temple grounds incorporate elements of both Buddhist and Shinto architectural styles, reflecting the religious syncretism present in Japanese culture.
