Hōkōin temple, Buddhist temple in Matsudo, Japan
The temple features ten distinct structures, including a main gate from the 17th century with two carved Niyo guardians and mature maple trees.
Originally a manor house of the Hiraga family from the Genji Clan, the temple was dedicated in the 13th century to the teachings of Nichiren.
The five-story pagoda contains a portion of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's remains, highlighting international Buddhist connections.
Visitors can access the temple from Kita-Kogane Station by following a cedar-lined avenue with traditional shops and food establishments.
A miraculous well near the statuary hall stands beneath a ginkgo tree with formations that resemble maternal elements.
