Mangan-ji, Buddhist temple in Todoroki, Setagaya, Japan.

The temple complex features traditional Japanese architecture with copper-roofed buildings and straight white stone paths designed by architect Yoshida Isoya in 1970.

Founded in late Heian period, Manganji Temple was reconstructed as a prayer temple for the Kira clan in 1470 and received special status during the Edo period.

The temple houses one of Japan's three famous Jizo statues, known as Ichigon Jizo, which is believed to grant wishes after a single prayer.

Located four minutes on foot from Todoroki Station on the Tokyu Oimachi Line, the temple opens its garden to visitors three times annually during specific dates.

The temple grounds include a pond garden designed by master landscaper Iwaki Kotaro, which remains closed to the public except for three specific days each year.
