光福寺, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa-ku, Japan

Kofuku-ji is a Buddhist temple in Shinagawa-ku with wooden structures built in traditional Japanese style, featuring multiple halls for prayer and meditation. The grounds contain landscaped gardens and various buildings arranged according to classical temple design principles.

The temple was founded to support the spread of Buddhism in the region during its early development in Japan. The buildings evolved over time as the area grew, and they continue to serve the spiritual life of the community.

The temple serves as a place where people gather to pray and participate in ceremonies throughout the year. The layout and decoration reflect Buddhist customs that shape how visitors move through the space.

The temple is easily accessible on foot and welcomes visitors to explore the buildings and gardens at their own pace. Respectful dress and quiet behavior are appreciated, especially when ceremonies are taking place.

The temple conducts regular bell-ringing ceremonies that sound during important moments in the Buddhist calendar to mark spiritual occasions. These deep, resonant tones form part of the sensory experience that visitors encounter when visiting the grounds.
