Tōgō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fuchū, Japan
The temple features a large gateway leading to the main building, with an ancient weeping cherry tree standing prominently near the entrance.
Admiral Togo Heihachiro, commander of the Japanese fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, owned this property as his personal villa before it became a temple.
The temple gateway gained recognition in Japanese cinema as it served as the inspiration for scenes in Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon.
Visitors can reach the temple within five minutes on foot from Tamareien Station on the Keio Line in western Tokyo.
The original structure of Admiral Togo's villa remains preserved within the temple grounds, offering a connection to Japanese naval history.
