Kōho-in, Buddhist temple in Nakano, Japan
The temple features carefully arranged stones forming straight paths that guide visitors through the entrance garden and into the main hall.
Established in 1943, Kōho-in temple represents a modern addition to Japan's religious landscape during the mid-twentieth century expansion of Buddhist institutions.
The temple maintains traditional Jōdo-shū Buddhist practices, offering spiritual guidance and hosting ceremonies that emphasize devotion to Amitābha Buddha.
Visitors entering the temple grounds cross a stone bridge over an empty moat before reaching the main hall and its adjacent meditation gardens.
The temple's architecture incorporates maritime elements throughout its design, with the main hall extending into gardens that represent waves of Lake Biwa.
