Tōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Nakano, Japan
The Tōfuku-ji temple complex includes 24 sub-temples across its grounds, featuring stone gardens, maple trees, and traditional wooden structures arranged in the Zen style.
The temple was established in 1236 by imperial chancellor Kujō Michiie, who selected monk Enni Ben'en as the founding priest after his studies in China.
The meditation halls, gardens, and architectural elements of Tōfuku-ji represent key principles of Rinzai Zen Buddhism through their design and arrangement.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM between April and October, with admission fees of 400 yen for adults.
The temple maintains Japan's oldest surviving communal toilet structure from the Muromachi period, indicating early architectural developments in temple facilities.
