Anraku-ji, Buddhist temple in Yoshimi, Japan

Located in Saitama Prefecture, Anraku-ji temple features a three-story pagoda, guardian deity statues, and houses a principal Kannon Bodhisattva statue.

Founded in 806 during the Daido period, the temple was initially established by monk Gyoki and later expanded by military commander Sakanoue no Tamuramaro.

The temple belongs to the Bandō Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route as station number 11 and functions as station 75 of the Kantō 88 Temple Pilgrimage.

Visitors can access the temple via Higashi-Matsuyama Station on the Tobu Tojo Line, followed by a taxi ride, with free parking available for 100 vehicles.

Every June 18th, the temple hosts Yakuyoke Asakannon ceremony, opening the doors to its principal deity and distributing special protective amulets called bennada.
