Koyasan Buddhist Temple, Buddhist temple in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, United States.

The Koyasan Beikoku Betsuin temple occupies a large building with a main hall measuring 60 by 120 feet and accommodates 600 people for religious services.

Established in 1912 by Reverend Shutai Aoyama, the temple closed during World War II when Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps across the United States.

The temple conducts Shichi-Go-San ceremonies, a traditional Japanese rite celebrating children's growth, where participants receive blessings and ceremonial candy.

Monthly services occur every third Sunday, with virtual attendance options available through Zoom for those unable to visit the temple in person.

The temple houses the Hiroshima Peace Flame and maintains a special annex called the Hall of Daishi for smaller gatherings and study classes.

Location: California

Inception: 1912
