Tōfuku-ji, Zen Buddhist temple in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan
The temple complex extends across multiple buildings, including the oldest Zen gate in Japan and gardens filled with Japanese maple trees.
Founded in 1236 by imperial chancellor Kujō Michiie, the temple was rebuilt in the 15th century after fire damage and named after two temples in Nara.
The temple functions as the head institution of the Tofukuji School within the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, maintaining traditional meditation practices.
Visitors can access different sections of the temple grounds through separate admission tickets, with prices varying during autumn maple viewing season.
The temple contains Japan's oldest preserved communal bathhouse and toilet facilities, dating from the Muromachi period of the 14th century.
