Gayain, Buddhist temple in Miki, Japan
The Tendai Buddhist temple Gayain includes a main hall, a two-story pagoda called Tahoto, and multiple gates spread across its grounds.
Established in 645, Gayain expanded during the 17th century with the construction of its main hall in 1610 and the Tahoto pagoda in 1648.
The temple holds four nationally designated Important Cultural Properties, including a wooden Bishamonten statue central to Tendai Buddhist practices.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds through designated pathways that connect various religious buildings and ceremonial spaces throughout the complex.
The temple maintains both a Buddhist temple structure and a Misaka Ming shrine, representing a combination of religious architectural styles.
