Shōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Odawara, Japan
The temple includes several traditional buildings, with its main hall from 1706 standing as the oldest structure on the grounds.
The temple's origins trace back to the Nara period when priest Dōkyō established it for Empress Kōken, housing a Kannon image from Tang China.
Shōfuku-ji marks the fifth stop along the Bandō Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route, which connects 33 Buddhist temples across the Kantō region.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours and connects to local transport networks, making it accessible for both religious practitioners and visitors.
The temple houses a bronze bell dated to 1629 and carries the alternative name Iizumi Kannon, referencing its primary object of devotion.
