Ankoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Kato, Japan
The temple features a traditional thatched roof main hall surrounded by maple trees within its expansive grounds near Kyoto Prefecture.
Established in 1347, Ankoku-ji Temple was constructed under the direction of Ashikaga Takauji, the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.
The temple houses multiple nationally designated Important Cultural Properties, including the Seated Shaka Buddha Triad and ancient Buddhist scriptures.
Visitors can park in the designated area for 20 vehicles and enter the temple grounds without charge, though inner sanctuary visits require reservations.
The temple grounds contain the graves of Ashikaga Takauji, his mother Uesugi Kiyoko, and his wife, positioned next to the pond area.
