Anraku-ji, Buddhist temple in Sakyo-ku, Japan.
The main hall of Anraku-ji features traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with a thatched roof gate and maple trees lining the entrance path.
Founded in the 13th century by monks Juren and Zunsei, the temple faced early persecution resulting in the execution of its founders by ex-Emperor Gotoba.
The temple houses an Amida-Nyorai statue in its main hall, representing central beliefs of the Jodo-shu sect of Japanese Buddhism.
The temple opens exclusively on weekends during specific periods in April, May, June, and December, with an entrance fee of 500 yen for adults.
Located above the Philosopher's Path, the temple grounds contain stone Buddha statues amid moss gardens and carefully trimmed hedges.
