Kōtoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Akiruno, Japan

The Kōtoku-ji temple features a large mountain gate topped with a thatched roof and two substantial ginkgo trees near its entrance.

The temple, established in 1373 as part of the Rinzaishu-kenchouji-ha group, represents centuries of Buddhist practices in the Tokyo region.

The temple maintains traditional Buddhist customs while offering a space for meditation and contemplation within its grounds at 234 Kowada.

Visitors can reach the temple complex by public transportation and contact the administration at 042-558-1111 for current opening hours.

Two ancient ginkgo trees transform the temple entrance during autumn months, creating yellow foliage patterns against the temple structures.
