This is a list of temples across Japan, organized by prefecture and municipality. Use it as a starting point when searching for an ancestral family temple (bodaiji) or the location of its death registers (kakochō). Each prefecture page shows, for every municipality, the temple names, sects and locations (district level), together with a map of where the temples are.
The data is based on temple names registered in map data (OpenStreetMap) and does not cover every temple in Japan (currently 25005 entries). Coverage varies by region.
