Tenryū-ji, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa, Japan.

The temple compound includes detailed wooden structures, traditional gates, and carefully arranged stone pathways surrounding a central meditation hall.

Established in 1581, Tenryū-ji temple served as a center for Rinzai Zen Buddhist practices and teachings throughout the Edo period.

The temple garden incorporates the shakkei technique, which integrates the natural mountains of Arashiyama into the designed landscape composition.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 to 17:00, with separate admission fees for the building interior and garden areas.

The temple restaurant, Shigetsu, prepares traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine following ancient recipes and seasonal ingredients.
