Sōsoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Hachioji, Japan.
The main hall of Sosoku-ji includes wooden beams and sliding doors that open to reveal stone gardens and mountain views.
Founded in the eighth century by Buddhist priest Gyoki Bosatsu, the temple underwent reconstruction in the 1600s with additions of ornate architectural elements.
The temple maintains a collection of religious artifacts and hosts ceremonies where visitors participate in meditation sessions and Buddhist rituals.
Located one hour from central Tokyo, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with direct access from Hachioji Station.
Stone statues of tengu, mythological mountain spirits with long noses, stand guard along the paths leading to the temple grounds.
