Shōkaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Nakameguro, Japan.
The temple features grand structures and multiple buildings spread across landscaped grounds with a large cemetery section surrounded by stone lanterns and paths.
Founded in 1619 during the early Edo period, the temple belongs to the Nichiren Buddhist sect and maintains traditional architectural elements from that era.
The temple serves as a center for Buddhist funeral ceremonies and ancestral rites, reflecting Japanese practices of honoring and remembering family members.
Located 358 meters from Naka-meguro Station at 3-1-6 Nakameguro, the temple grounds remain open to visitors except during funeral services.
Tall ginkgo trees within the temple grounds transform the landscape during autumn months when their leaves turn bright yellow against the temple structures.
