Shutoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan.
Shutoku-ji temple stands within a garden setting, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture and stone paths leading to the main prayer hall.
Founded in 1541 by Hojo Tadamasa, the temple relocated from Odawara Castle to its current location in Akasaka during 1642 under Tokugawa patronage.
The temple grounds contain numerous burial sites of notable figures, including Daimyo Hori Naotora and the artist Kano Koi from the Edo period.
Visitors can reach the temple through a 5-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, with the entrance marked by stone lanterns.
The temple grounds feature an ancient well called Iosui, discovered during excavation works that revealed stone Buddha statues beneath the surface.
