Igyō-in, Buddhist temple in Higashi-Ikō, Japan.

Igyō-in is a Buddhist temple in Higashi-Ikō with multiple traditional buildings featuring curved roofs and wooden frames typical of Japanese architecture. The grounds include spaces for meditation practice, religious services, and community gatherings.

The temple represents the Shin Buddhism tradition founded by Shinran Shonin in the 12th century, a school that spread throughout Japan over subsequent centuries. It continues to maintain these historical teachings within its community.

The temple remains an active center where local devotees gather for daily Buddhist practices and ceremonies tied to Shin Buddhism teachings. Visitors can observe how these spiritual traditions continue to shape the community's daily rhythm.

The temple welcomes visitors interested in joining meditation sessions or learning about Shin Buddhist practices firsthand. Information and guidance are offered in English and Japanese to help guests understand temple customs and how to participate.

Scholars conduct ongoing research on Buddhist traditions at this temple while the community maintains active religious practices, creating a place where academic study and spiritual life coexist. This blend of learning and living faith sets it apart from most other temples.
