What to expect

One of Yanaka’s oldest temples where you can immerse yourself in the quiet, historic atmosphere of the Edo period. Observe the massive seated Buddha (Shakyamuni) up close and hear a brief explanation of Japanese Buddhist aesthetics and beliefs about life and death. Enjoy a tranquil, contemplative experience, completely removed from the bustle of the city.
