Jōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa, Japan
The main hall of Jōkō-ji displays traditional Japanese architecture with wooden carvings and precise craftsmanship in its structural elements and design features.
Founded in 1650 during the early Edo period, Jōkō-ji served as the family temple for the Matsudaira clan, who held substantial influence in Japanese governance.
The temple maintains Buddhist statues and religious artifacts that represent the spiritual practices and artistic traditions of Japanese Buddhism.
Located near public transportation routes in Shinagawa, the temple welcomes visitors with moderate entrance fees to specific sections of the grounds.
The temple grounds contain gardens with seasonal changes, including spring cherry blossoms that create natural patterns against the traditional architecture.
