Kōan-ji, Buddhist temple in Bunkyo, Japan.
The temple complex incorporates a main hall constructed in the style of a traditional Japanese storehouse with thick walls and barred windows.
The temple structure remained intact through both the 1923 Kanto earthquake and the 1945 World War II bombings in Tokyo.
The temple follows Zen Buddhist traditions, providing a space for meditation and spiritual practices within the urban environment of Tokyo.
Located at 4-12 Yushima in Tokyo with postal code 113-0004, the temple maintains operations twenty-four hours every day of the week.
The temple earned recognition for its fireproof design, using construction methods from Japanese storehouses to protect valuable items.
