Toukoji, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa-ku, Japan.

This temple follows the Rinzai school of Japanese Zen Buddhism and includes traditional architectural elements within its grounds and meditation halls.

The temple was established in 1639 under Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu's sponsorship, becoming a significant religious center during the Edo period.

The temple maintains connections with the Daitoku-ji branch, preserving traditional Zen practices and religious ceremonies throughout the calendar year.

Visitors can reach the temple within five minutes by foot from Shimbamba Station on the Keikyu Main Line in eastern Tokyo.

The temple houses the grave of Takuan Soho, designated as a National Historic Site in 1926, despite his request for an unmarked burial place.
