Jōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Seto, Japan.
The temple features a traditional wooden main hall with multiple layers of roofs, surrounded by stone lanterns and carefully arranged gardens.
Founded in 1336 by Zen master Kakugen, Joko-ji Temple later became the burial site for the Owari Tokugawa clan in the 17th century.
The temple maintains traditional Buddhist ceremonies and serves as a center for meditation practices within the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 25-minute walk from Joko-ji Station on the JR Chuo Line or using the Seto City community bus.
The temple grounds contain a granite bridge called Chokunyū-bashi, constructed in 1653, spanning more than 6 meters across a lotus pond.
