願行寺, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa, Japan
Tokai-ji temple maintains a traditional architectural design with wooden structures and features multiple buildings within its grounds for religious ceremonies and daily activities.
Established in 1639 under Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1694 following a fire, with support from Keisho-in, mother of Shogun Tsunayoshi.
The temple serves as both a religious center for Buddhist practitioners and a burial ground, containing graves of notable figures including Zen master Takuan Soho.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a five-minute walk from Shimbamba Station on the Keikyu Main Line, with proper attire required for entry.
The temple houses two gravestones for Takuan Soho, despite his explicit instructions to disciples not to build any memorial after his death in 1645.
