The Japanese Buddhist Temple in Darjeeling, West Bengal, also known as the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Temple, was built in 1972 under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii, a Buddhist monk from Japan. Located on the slopes of the Jalapahar Hill, the temple showcases classic Japanese architectural style and offers a serene and quiet sanctum for meditation and inner peace.

Ohka, stands as the tallest free-standing structure in Darjeeling, offering stunning views of the snow-clad peaks, including the Kanchenjunga.
