Tekona Reijin-dō, Buddhist temple in Mama, Japan.

Located in Ichikawa City, the temple houses a traditional wooden shrine featuring curved roofs and intricate wooden carvings from the local craftsmen.

The temple, founded in 737, commemorates Tekona, a legendary woman known for her beauty who chose to end her life in the sea.

The temple maintains a collection of ancient manuscripts and hosts monthly gatherings where members participate in meditation and traditional ceremonies.

The shrine opens daily from 10:00 to 16:00, offering prayer services for success, safety, and health, with fees ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 yen.

Two poems in the Manyoshu anthology reference the temple grounds, specifically mentioning the ancient well where Tekona collected water.
