Shogaku-ji

The temple features a traditional wooden structure with curved roofs extending beyond the walls, housing the main hall and secondary buildings within its complex.

The temple stands as an example of religious architecture developed during periods when shogunates actively supported the construction of Buddhist establishments in Japan.

Regular ceremonies take place in the temple grounds, where visitors participate in incense burning rituals and offer prayers at designated altars.

Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the main halls and should check photography restrictions posted throughout the temple grounds.

The temple bells ring 108 times during New Year celebrations, following the Buddhist tradition of marking each worldly desire defined in religious texts.
