Kifuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Hongō, Japan
Kifuku-ji temple maintains traditional architectural elements with wooden structures and curved roofs characteristic of Japanese Buddhist religious buildings.
The temple's foundation connects to the expansion of Jōdo Shinshū Buddhism during the Kamakura period, marking a significant period of religious development.
Regular ceremonies at Kifuku-ji temple demonstrate the continuation of Buddhist practices through rituals, meditation sessions, and religious gatherings.
The temple grounds open daily to visitors, with public transportation access via multiple bus lines stopping near the entrance.
Students from Ryukoku University provide English language guidance to international visitors while wearing distinguishing turquoise blue uniforms.
