Tamon-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashikurume, Japan.
The temple complex features a traditional thatched-roofed gate, gardens, and numerous Buddhist structures that represent Japanese religious architecture.
Established between 957 and 961 AD, Tamon-ji was relocated during the Tensho era and survived the World War II bombings of Tokyo.
The temple maintains artifacts from the Asakusa International Theater and displays a statue of Kannon dedicated to victims of World War II.
Visitors can photograph most areas of the temple grounds and access the location through nearby public transportation options in Higashikurume.
The temple houses a tomb and statues of tanuki, connecting to a legend about monk Bankai who founded it to address supernatural creatures in the area.
