Eishō-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashi-Ueno, Japan.
Eishō-ji temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements, including a main hall for ceremonies and meditation spaces across its grounds.
Founded in 1558 in Shitaya Choja Machi by the Jodo Buddhist sect, the temple relocated to its current location in Higashi-Ueno in 1637.
The temple remains an active center of Buddhist practices, with regular ceremonies and religious services that maintain Japanese spiritual traditions.
The temple welcomes visitors daily and provides easy access from nearby public transportation stations in the Ueno district of Tokyo.
In 1882, the temple's study room became the first training location for Kodokan Judo, established by founder Kano Jigoro with nine initial students.
