Tokuhon-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishi-Asakusa, Japan
The temple features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, gardens, and sacred spaces dedicated to Buddhist practices and meditation.
Founded in 1491, the temple belongs to the Jodoshu school of Buddhism and maintains strong connections with the Shinshu-Zenkoji temple in Nagano.
The temple includes the Kaidan-meguri, where visitors walk through a dark tunnel as part of a spiritual practice common in Zenkoji traditions.
The temple houses a war memorial dedicated to soldiers from multiple nations who died during World War II and offers daily prayer sessions.
Among 400 temples containing Zenkoji Nyorai, Tokuhon-ji stands as one of only 100 temples authorized to use the Zenkoji name.
