Tōshō-in, Buddhist temple in Isehara, Japan.
Tōshō-in is a Buddhist temple in Isehara comprising several traditional wooden buildings with ornate main halls. The structures feature traditional craftsmanship and detailed decorative elements throughout the complex.
The temple was founded in the eighth century and held importance during the Tokugawa period. Connections with influential feudal leaders helped sustain its role during that era.
The place functions as a center for Zen meditation, where practitioners gather daily to meditate and chant within the temple spaces. The simple interior design supports this contemplative practice.
The temple has set visiting hours, so checking current availability before arrival is helpful. Visitors should wear modest clothing and respect the quiet and orderly nature of the space.
A dedicated training hall hosts an international community of monks and nuns practicing traditional Buddhist disciplines. This multinational community makes it a distinctive place for cross-cultural spiritual practice.
