Taisei-ji, Buddhist temple in Mitaka, Japan
Taisei-ji temple stands near the Inokashira Pond, featuring a main hall dedicated to Yakushi Buddha and traditional Japanese architectural elements.
The temple gained prominence in the Edo period when Shogun Iemitsu reconstructed the Benzaiten Hall, which served as a spiritual center until 1924.
The temple maintains strong connections to the Benzaiten deity, attracting actors from Edo Kabuki theater who sought blessings for their artistic performances.
Visitors can reach the temple within 10 minutes on foot from Kichijoji Station, through either the JR Chuo Line or the Keio Inokashira Line.
The temple houses a Benzaiten statue attributed to Saicho from 789, making it one of the earliest Buddhist sculptures in the Tokyo region.
