Kōtoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Nerima, Japan.

Kotoku-ji Temple features extensive grounds covering 20,000 square meters with a grand entrance gate leading to the main prayer hall through a tree-lined path.

Founded during the Sengoku period by Ota Gongoro, third son of Hojo Ujimasa, the temple relocated multiple times before settling in its current Nerima location.

The temple belongs to the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, Daitoku-ji branch, maintaining traditional Buddhist practices and ceremonies throughout the year.

Located 850 meters from Hikawadai Station, the temple exterior and entrance path remain open for visitors while the main grounds require special permission.

The temple grounds contain numerous graves of prominent historical figures, including the feudal lord Oda Nobuo and the swordsman Yagyu Munenori.
