Nichiyō-tera, Buddhist temple in Akatsuka district, Itabashi-ku, Japan

The Nichiyō-tera temple contains a 13.5-meter bronze Buddha statue positioned on the right side of the temple entrance gate.

Originally established in Nakajuku area, the temple moved to its current location in Akatsuka during 1971 to maintain its structures and cultural assets.

The temple grounds display numerous stone sculptures depicting hermits, demons, and bodhisattvas, reflecting the artistic heritage of the Todo family.

Visitors can reach the temple through a 25-minute walk from Shimoakazuka Station on the Tobu Tojo Line or 20 minutes from Nishi-Takashimadaira Station.

The temple features a memorial tower commemorating victims of the Tenpo famine, adding historical depth to its religious significance.
