Jokoji, Buddhist temple in Nara, Japan
Jokoji Temple includes a primary worship hall and traditional gates that guide visitors through the grounds following Japanese architectural principles.
The temple structure transformed from Fujiwara Nobunaga's residence into a religious center in 1113 when Fujiwara Tadazane, Chief Advisor to Chisoku-in, acquired the property.
As the 22nd station on the Rakuyo Pilgrimage route, Jokoji Temple maintains Buddhist practices and ceremonies that connect visitors to Japanese spiritual traditions.
The temple grounds remain open to visitors who wish to explore the religious architecture and participate in Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.
The temple's connection to the influential Fujiwara clan establishes its position as a significant location in Japanese aristocratic and religious development.
