Honryū-ji

Honryū-ji temple stands in the Minami-Ikebukuro district, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with stone lanterns lining the paths and a main hall for worship.

Founded in 1618, the temple has endured through centuries of Tokyo's transformations, including reconstruction after the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and rituals, serving as a spiritual center where local residents gather for religious observances and community events.

Located near multiple train stations, the temple opens daily from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore the grounds and participate in morning ceremonies.

The temple houses the Kishimojin-do hall, which contains a statue of Hariti and attracts people seeking blessings for childbirth and child-rearing.
