Jakkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashiyodogawa-ku, Japan.

The temple stands on a hillside with stone steps leading to multiple wooden buildings and a traditional Japanese garden with maple trees.

The temple relocated multiple times before settling at its current location in 1708 following the great fire of the Hoei period.

The temple gained recognition through Nikkai, its second head priest who received the title of Meijin from Nobunaga Oda for mastery in Go.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus to Higashiyama Niomon stop and walking 100 meters west through the residential area.

The temple houses ancient calligraphy scrolls and traditional Japanese paintings in its dedicated art gallery space.
