宝泰寺, Buddhist temple in Aoi-ku, Japan

Tokei-in Temple stands near JR Shizuoka Station, featuring a traditional garden with 400 plum trees and a central meditation hall.

Founded during the early Muromachi period, the temple received diplomatic missions from Korea and Ryukyu during Tokugawa Ieyasu's retirement at Sunpu Castle.

The front garden contains forty stone sculptures known as Warabe Jizo, representing the protective deities of children in Japanese Buddhist tradition.

Located 5 minutes from JR Shizuoka Station and 4 minutes from Shin-Shizuoka Station, the temple garden opens to public during special viewing periods.

The garden includes a karesansui rock arrangement and scattered stone sculptures, designed with principles similar to those of landscaper Kinsaku Nakane.
