Kannon-ji, Buddhist temple in Yanaka, Taitō-ku, Japan
Kannon-ji features a main worship hall with statues and offerings, surrounded by traditional Japanese gardens and stone lanterns along its pathways.
The temple dates back to the early Edo period when it served as an essential place of worship for local residents and traveling merchants.
During religious ceremonies, visitors participate in incense burning rituals and offer prayers while monks recite Buddhist sutras in the temple halls.
