Tokuzō-in, Buddhist temple in Matsudo, Japan

The temple encompasses ten distinct structures within its complex, each representing different architectural periods throughout Japanese history.

The temple, established in the 13th century, received support from the Hiraga family of the Genji Clan, whose sons studied under Nichiren.

The main hall, constructed in 1651, functions as a venue for various musical performances that combine traditional and modern Japanese expressions.

Visitors enter through a vermillion gate featuring carved Niyo guardians, following traditional customs such as bowing upon entering the temple grounds.

The five-story pagoda within the temple complex contains a portion of Jawaharlal Nehru's remains, creating an unexpected connection with India.
