Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin

The Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin temple features a 35-meter-tall main hall with traditional Japanese architectural elements and spacious ceremonial spaces.

Established in 1655 as a Buddhist administrative office in Edo, the temple was rebuilt in 1673 and became the first stop on the Edo 88 Temple Pilgrimage.

The temple holds monthly ceremonies on the 21st day, including ritual fire ceremonies and bell ringing events that connect visitors to Buddhist traditions.

Located within 5 minutes walking distance from Takanawa-dai Station, the temple grounds remain open daily for visitors to explore the halls and gardens.

The temple complex contains a Tokyo Electric Power Company substation beneath its grounds, integrating modern infrastructure with religious architecture.
