Tōshō-ji

The Tōshō-ji temple stands amid the northeastern part of Goka, featuring traditional architectural elements and multiple prayer halls for Buddhist ceremonies.

The temple holds connections to the Kamakura period when Buddhist institutions spread across the Kanto region during the 13th century expansion of religious practices.

Tōshō-ji maintains regular ceremonies where monks perform traditional Buddhist rituals, including morning prayers and meditation sessions throughout the religious calendar.

Visitors can access the temple grounds from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated parking areas and walking paths connecting different structures within the complex.

The temple bell tower contains a centuries-old bronze bell that rings across the Goka valley at specific times during religious observances.
