正覚寺, Buddhist temple in Hirano-ku, Japan.

The Shogakuji temple stands within a garden filled with seasonal flowers, including plum blossoms and hydrangeas that change throughout the year.

During World War II, the temple served as an evacuation site for schoolchildren, with an original well still present on the temple grounds.

The temple maintains traditional Buddhist practices while connecting with the local community through religious ceremonies and educational programs.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with public transportation recommended as no parking facilities are available.

A stone monument near the preserved wartime well bears the inscription 'Here Lies the Spring of Life,' commemorating its role in sustaining evacuated children.
