Sokujō-in, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama district, Japan
The Sokujō-in temple hosts 26 Buddhist statues, including an Amida Buddha and 25 Bodhisattva figures, which are designated as important cultural properties.
Founded in 992 by Tachibana no Toshitsuna, the temple relocated to its current location in 1902 following a period of closure and subsequent restoration in 1887.
The temple organizes the Twenty-Five Bodhisattva Procession Ceremony every October, where participants gather to honor these sacred figures through traditional rituals.
Visitors can access Sokujō-in between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM daily, with an entrance fee of 500 yen for the inner sanctuary viewing.
The temple grounds contain the tomb of Nasuno Yoichi, a famous archer from the Genpei War who served under the military commander Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
