Nisshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kita-ku, Japan.

The temple stands within landscaped gardens, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements including wooden gates, stone paths, and meditation areas.

Established in September 1918, Nisshō-ji emerged during a period of religious transformation in Japan following the Meiji Restoration period.

The temple maintains strong connections to Rinzai Zen Buddhism practices, incorporating meditation sessions, calligraphy classes, and traditional tea ceremonies.

Visitors can participate in daily meditation sessions, explore the temple grounds, and learn about Buddhist practices through guided tours.

During autumn, the temple grounds display Japanese maple trees whose leaves create patterns of red and gold against the temple structures.
