Kōmyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Katō, Japan
The temple buildings of Kōmyō-ji spread across multiple structures, including a ceremonial gate and halls containing Buddhist artworks and statues.
During the Edo period, Kōmyō-ji received support from notable figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who contributed to its expansion.
The temple maintains regular prayer ceremonies and religious practices, serving as a central location for Pure Land Buddhism in the region.
Visitors can access Kōmyō-ji throughout the year, with special ceremonies taking place between October 12 and 25 during the Ten Nights of Prayer.
The temple features an artificial island called Wakaejima, constructed in 1232, which functioned as a cargo entry point for the surrounding area.
