Kōkei-ji, Buddhist temple in Hachioji, Japan.
The temple complex features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, sliding doors, and ornate carvings throughout its main buildings and halls.
Founded in 1384 by monk Jun'ō Ryōzan, Kōkei-ji was established on the site of a former hermitage called Shirasawa-an, created by monk Kyōō Unryō in 1297.
The temple belongs to the Rinzai sect of Nanzen-ji and houses the principal deity Jizō Bodhisattva, known as the protector of travelers and children.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Takao Station North Exit to Kozuka bus stop, followed by a 10-minute walk to the entrance.
The temple grounds contain a monument to Nakama Uzuhi, who wrote the lyrics of Yuyake Koyake, inspired by the surrounding mountain landscape.
