Dōjō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shakujii-Dai, Japan.

The temple complex features a three-story wooden pagoda completed in 1973, which stands as a central architectural element within the temple grounds.

Toshima Terutoki established Dōjō-ji in 1372, creating a sanctuary for spiritual practices according to Soto Zen Buddhist principles in the Nerima district.

The temple functions as a gathering place for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions, maintaining traditional Soto Zen practices for the local community.

Located three minutes from the Nerima Shakujii Furusato Museum, Dōjō-ji welcomes visitors through multiple entrances connected to the surrounding park paths.

The temple grounds integrate with Shakujii Park's natural landscape, positioning the religious structures among two large ponds, Shakujii and Sanpoji.
