Tengenji Temple, Zen Buddhist temple in Minami-Azabu, Tokyo, Japan.

Tengenji Temple features traditional Japanese wooden architecture with tiled roofs and a peaceful garden surrounded by greenery in the heart of Tokyo.

Established in 1719 during the Edo period, the temple was relocated from Kohinata and rebuilt multiple times after fires and wartime bombings.

The temple houses a 103-centimeter tall Bishamon-ten statue carved from camphor wood, traditionally attributed to Prince Shotoku according to temple legends.

Located five minutes walking distance from Hiroo Station, the temple is accessible by public transportation with parking facilities available in the surrounding area.

The temple conducts zen meditation sessions and traditional ceremonies allowing visitors to directly experience Japanese Buddhist spirituality and contemplative practices.
