Shinpuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Okazaki, Japan

The temple complex contains several wooden buildings, including a main hall and a shrine, surrounded by gardens filled with stone statues.

Founded in 594 by Mononobe no Masachi, Shinpuku-ji stands as the oldest temple in the Mikawa region of eastern Aichi Prefecture.

The temple houses a sacred spring with waters believed to heal eye ailments, enclosed within an octagonal structure in the main hall.

Visitors can access the temple grounds by car with free parking available, though no public transportation stations are located nearby.

The temple restaurant serves specialized bamboo shoot dishes prepared in multiple ways, from pickled to tempura, connected by an elevated walkway.
