誓願寺, Buddhist temple in Suruga-ku, Japan.

Seiganji Temple is a Buddhist temple located among residential buildings with traditional Japanese architectural features. The complex consists of multiple wooden structures with curved rooflines characteristic of classical Buddhist temple design.

The temple represents a continuation of Buddhist traditions that took root in Japan following the introduction of Buddhism from China in the 6th century. Its architectural style reflects the development of temple design principles that have been refined over centuries in Japan.

The temple serves as a gathering place for the local community during important occasions and family remembrances. People come here to maintain their connection with deceased relatives through visiting and prayer.

The temple is accessible to visitors during certain hours, with guided tours offered to learn about Buddhist practices and the site. It is helpful to check ahead for opening times and any special ceremonies or events taking place.

The temple follows a striking year-end tradition where the temple bell sounds exactly 108 times on New Year's Eve, symbolizing liberation from earthly desires in Buddhist belief. This distinctive ritual is often attended by visitors eager to mark the transition between years.
