Anyo-ji, Buddhist temple in Kagurazaka, Japan.

The temple features wooden structures with traditional ornamental designs and stands as part of the Yamanote 33 Kannon pilgrimage circuit in Tokyo.

Founded in 1595 during the late 16th century, Anyo-ji underwent several relocations before settling in its current location in Kagurazaka in the 1800s.

The temple holds regular meditation sessions and religious ceremonies, offering visitors direct experience with Japanese Buddhist practices and traditions.

Located near multiple public transportation options, Anyo-ji maintains open access throughout the year without requiring entrance fees.

The temple grounds contain a cemetery where renowned film director Akira Kurosawa rests, adding historical significance to this religious site.
