Chōkoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Minato district, Tokyo, Japan

The Hasedera Temple features a traditional wooden main hall surrounded by multiple secondary structures connected by covered wooden walkways and stone paths.

The temple's establishment in the 8th century by monk Tokodai marked the beginning of its role as a significant Buddhist center in Tokyo's Minato district.

The temple complex holds regular Buddhist ceremonies and rituals throughout the year, including special celebrations during important dates in the Buddhist calendar.

Visitors can reach Hasedera Temple by taking the subway to Akabanebashi Station and walking east for approximately ten minutes through residential streets.

The temple houses a nine-meter-tall wooden Kannon statue, which stands as one of the largest wooden Buddhist sculptures in Tokyo's religious buildings.
