Zenrin Temple, Buddhist temple in Mitaka, Japan

The temple grounds extend from Mitaka Station to the northern boundary, maintaining the original land allocation granted by the Edo government.

Founded in the early Edo period as a Jodo Shinshu temple, Zenrin-ji was rebuilt in 1700 after a typhoon and converted to an Obaku Zen temple.

The temple hosts annual memorial services in June for writer Dazai Osamu and in July for novelist Mori Ogai at their burial sites.

Located 10 minutes by foot from Mitaka Station South Exit, the temple complex includes parking for 92 vehicles and two ceremonial halls.

The temple bell, cast in 1783 during the Tenmei period, remains a central feature of the temple complex.
