Gokokuji Temple (Head temple of the Tozan sect of Shingon Buddhism/Shinrei Mountain)

Japan, 112-0012 5-40-1 Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo

Founded in 1681, this temple has undergone numerous restorations, but the main hall, the Kannon Hall, still retains its original appearance. After climbing the stairs, you can see the 2.5 meter tall Great Buddha. Although it is smaller than the Great Buddha of Kamakura, it is a rare large Buddha statue among Tokyo temples.
