慈雲寺, Buddhist temple in Kōhoku-ku, Japan

The temple features multiple halls with traditional Japanese architecture, including a main worship hall measuring over 1000 tatami mats in size.

Founded in 1321 by Zen Master Taiso Eisan, the temple relocated from Ishikawa Prefecture to Yokohama following a fire during the Meiji period.

The temple maintains a collection of important cultural artifacts and Buddhist statues in its treasury hall, known as Chakuchakan.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 10:00 to 16:30, with guided tours available by resident monks upon request.

The temple organizes monthly open meditation sessions where participants can practice Zen meditation under professional guidance.
