林光寺, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku, Japan

Rinkoji is a Buddhist temple in Midori-ku featuring traditional wooden structures arranged across grounds that include gardens, a main prayer hall, and a bell tower. The complex forms a self-contained sanctuary with interconnected spaces designed for worship and contemplation.

This sanctuary was established during the Edo period as a center for Buddhist teachings and practices in the region. It has maintained its religious importance within the local community across subsequent centuries.

The temple serves as a place where local residents gather to participate in Buddhist ceremonies, light incense, and make prayer offerings. Visitors can observe how people engage in these traditional practices as part of their spiritual routine.

The site is easily accessible by public bus, with clear signage and parking available near the main entrance. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the grounds include multiple outdoor areas to explore.

The grounds preserve an original bell from the Anei period that still rings for special occasions and daily prayers. This historic bell creates an auditory link between visitors and the site's long history.
