Jōshin-ji, Buddhist temple in Mukōgaoka, Japan.
The temple consists of multiple halls and buildings, including the 20-meter-tall Ryūgo-den Main Hall, covered with copper plates and adorned with ornamental figures.
Following the destruction of Okusawa Castle during the Sengoku period, Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna granted the land to the Jodo sect, leading to temple construction in 1678.
Nine golden statues of Amida Buddha within three separate halls symbolize different levels of purity for rebirth in the Pure Land Buddhist tradition.
Located at coordinates 35°36'30"N and 139°39'38"E, the temple occupies 12,000 square meters of land in the Setagaya district of Tokyo.
The temple features a Bell Tower from 1708 with detailed carvings and a bell decorated with Buddha and celestial being motifs.
