Saihoji Temple, Buddhist temple in Yokosuka, Japan

The Saihoji Temple contains a main prayer hall where visitors can participate in traditional Buddhist meditation sessions and religious ceremonies.

The temple was established in the early 8th century by Buddhist priest Gyoki, who contributed to mapping and civil engineering in Japan.

Local residents gather at Saihoji Temple during seasonal festivals to participate in traditional ceremonies and community gatherings throughout the year.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with additional meditation sessions scheduled on weekend mornings for interested participants.

The temple grounds include several stone lanterns that illuminate the pathways during evening ceremonies, creating patterns on the garden surfaces.
