Banryū-ji, Buddhist temple in Meguro-ku, Japan
Located at 3-4-4 Shimo-meguro, this Buddhist temple features multiple halls, stone markers, statues, and a traditional garden with ponds.
Founded in 1648 and reconstructed in 1709 by Reiun Shonin of Zojoji Temple, Banryu-ji became the third pilgrimage site in Eastern Japan for Amitabha devotees.
The temple houses wooden statues of Amitabha Buddha, Benzaiten in a cave, and various Jizo figures, including the notable Osiroi Jizo statue.
The temple grounds are accessible through JR Meguro Station, offering visitors opportunities to explore religious artifacts and participate in Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.
A stone marker at the entrance declares 'No spicy meat or alcohol beyond this gate,' maintaining traditional Buddhist dietary restrictions.
