Ōkannon-ji, Buddhist temple in Nihonbashi-Ningyōchō, Japan.

Ōkannon-ji temple stands within the heart of Tokyo's Nihonbashi district, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with a main hall and multiple shrines.

Established in 1874, this temple became the third stop on the Edo Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route, which connects thirty-three temples dedicated to Kannon.

The temple grounds contain both a Jizo shrine for child protection and an Inari shrine dedicated to Dakini-ten, representing agricultural prosperity.

Visitors can reach the temple through Suitengumae Station or Ningyocho Station, with the entrance marked by a prominent stone staircase and torii gate.

The temple maintains its religious functions while surrounded by modern Tokyo buildings, creating a space where traditional practices continue in an urban setting.
