Tōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Shibuya, Japan.

The Tōfuku-ji temple complex includes a large bell, traditional lanterns, and intricate architectural details under the eaves of its main building.

Founded in 1173, Tōfuku-ji temple has maintained its presence in Shibuya through centuries of Tokyo's transformation from a small settlement to a major metropolis.

The temple grounds contain numerous Buddhist statues and carvings that demonstrate the principles and teachings of the Tendai Buddhist tradition.

Located adjacent to Konnō Hachimangū shrine, Tōfuku-ji provides visitors with a combination of religious architecture and meditation spaces within central Tokyo.

The temple's bell serves as both a timekeeper and a spiritual instrument, marking important moments in the daily life of this Buddhist sanctuary.
