Kōgen-in, Buddhist temple in Karasuyama Temple Town, Japan.
The temple features a main hall constructed in kyakuden style with a central pond named Benten-ike where wild ducks gather throughout the year.
Established in 1703 by Arima Yorimoto, the temple relocated from Shinagawa to its current location in Kitakarasuyama following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.
The temple houses wooden statues and memorial tablets dedicated to Zen Master Gyokushū and Hosokawa Mochiyuki, displaying traditional Buddhist craftsmanship.
Located at coordinates 35.680389, 139.594611, visitors can reach the temple via an 11-minute train ride from Shinjuku Station to Chitose-Karasuyama Station.
The main hall contains visible sword marks from conflicts during the late 19th century, preceding the Meiji Restoration period.
