Temples (寺, tera) are the places of worship in Japanese Buddhism. Buddhism is one of the main beliefs in Japan, together with Shinto (which comes along with the Shrines) .
In Japan there are over 77,000 Buddhism temples in the whole country. The religion, which originated in India, was introduced to Japan from Korea by Buddhist monks.
Temples have a large incense burner and many Buddhist statues, and may or may not have a graveyard attached to them.
When you visit a Buddhist temple in Japan, you will find a pagoda located within the temple complex. Some pagodas are made from wood, but some are carved out of stone.
