立源寺, Buddhist temple in Meguro district, Japan.
The temple complex contains multiple structures including the Niomon Gate, Dai-Hondo main hall, Shorodo bell tower, and Amidado hall on its elevated grounds.
Established in 808 during the Heian period by Jikaku Daishi, the temple gained prominence when Tokugawa Iemitsu instituted Fudo worship throughout the city.
The temple honors Fudo Myoo, a principal deity in Tendai Buddhism, with a large seated statue of Dainichi Nyorai created in 1683 inside the main hall.
Visitors reach the temple through a 10-minute walk from Fudo-mae Station on the Tokyo Meguro Line, with the 28th of each month featuring special celebrations.
The temple grounds include Dokko-no-taki, a small waterfall and pond that emerged where the founding monk's ceremonial staff struck the ground.
