About Koyasan Buddhist Temple
Koyasan Buddhist Temple is a hidden gem in the heart of Little Tokyo, offering a peaceful respite amidst the bustling city. The temple is dog-friendly and known for its soothing scent of incense, providing emotional support to the Japanese American community. Visitors can experience the annual yakuyoku ceremony, guided by the kind and wise resident abbot. While the priests may appear stern, the temple's cozy atmosphere and the presence of shrine maidens create a unique and captivating ambiance, reminiscent of Japanese anime.

I like that fact it’s dog friendly! Today on the new year it took us almost 2 and half hours to get inside of the temple so make sure to arrive before 1 pm or 1:30 pm. The gate supposed to close at 3:30 but today they extended it little past 4pm.

It's located in the middle of Little Tokyo. It is a source of emotional support for Japanese Americans. The scent of incense sticks is always there and it is soothing.
