Anpukuji, Buddhist temple in Kashiwara, Japan

Anpukuji temple contains several buildings including a main hall, traditional gate, and bell tower set within carefully maintained grounds.

The temple underwent reconstruction during the Kanbun period between 1661 and 1672 under the guidance of Jodo-shu monk Kakuoku.

Three temple artifacts received designation as Important Cultural Properties of Japan through donations from the Owari Tokugawa family.

The temple grounds feature multiple walking paths connecting the North Gate to horizontal caves, allowing visitors to explore different areas.

The temple houses a stone coffin lid from the Early Kofun period with specific Chokobun patterns consisting of six units on long sides.
