Kanpuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Katori, Japan
Kanpuku-ji temple complex contains multiple prayer halls, including the main hall, bell tower, and various dedicated buildings for Buddhist deities.
Founded in 890, this temple gained prominence as a prayer place for the Chiba clan during medieval times and later became a regional Buddhist seminary.
The temple houses four bronze Buddhist statues designated as Important Cultural Properties, originally transferred from Katori Shrine during the Meiji period.
