Kaigyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shinjuku, Japan
Located within the urban landscape of Tokyo, Kaigyō-ji stands as a Buddhist temple with traditional Japanese architectural elements and stone structures.
Founded in 1595, Kaigyō-ji represents over four centuries of continuous religious presence in what would become the modern Shinjuku district of Tokyo.
Regular Buddhist ceremonies and educational programs at Kaigyō-ji provide insights into religious practices and meditation techniques for both locals and visitors.
The temple maintains specific visiting hours and requests guests to follow dress codes and behavioral guidelines that respect the sacred nature of the space.
