Hōdō-in

The Hōdō-in temple stands as a wooden structure with curved roofs and traditional post-and-lintel framework near residential buildings in Ota district.

The temple complex reflects the architectural evolution of Japanese Buddhism following its introduction from China through Korea in the 6th century.

This temple serves as a sanctuary for sacred Buddhist objects and maintains spaces that can be modified according to ceremonial requirements.

Visitors can access multiple halls within the temple grounds, including the main kondō where religious ceremonies take place throughout the year.

The temple name incorporates the legacy of Hōdō Sennin, a traveling sage who could reportedly fly through the air with an iron bowl.
