Jōkyō-ji

The Jōkyō-ji temple incorporates traditional wooden architectural elements with angular roofs and detailed exterior ornamental features within a garden setting.

The temple, established in 1244 by Buddhist monk Gyōnen, served as a spiritual center during the Kamakura period of Japanese history.

The temple maintains its designation as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property, representing the preservation standards of Japanese religious architecture.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through the main entrance gate, which leads to a pathway connecting various buildings within the complex.

The temple structure combines religious functionality with architectural elements that reflect the precise measurements and proportions of 13th-century Japanese design.
