Senkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Hirano-ku, Japan.
The temple features two contrasting sections: the Jigoku-do with dark spaces and demon statues, and the Hotoke no Kuni with meditation areas.
Founded around the statue of Yakushinyorai created by Prince Shotoku, Senko-ji marked the beginning of the Hirano district's development.
The temple's Jigoku-do section provides an educational experience about Buddhist concepts of afterlife through interactive displays and visual presentations.
Located 11 minutes from Hirano station on the Yamatoji line, the temple opens daily and displays its hidden Buddha statue twice per year.
A personality assessment machine at the entrance determines if visitors are destined for heaven or hell based on their responses.
