光明寺, Buddhist temple in Tokoname, Japan.

Komyoji Temple features a main hall constructed in 1930, alongside an octagonal building, traditional gardens, and the Amidado prayer hall on its spacious grounds.

The temple, established in the early 9th century, underwent a transformation to become a Jodo Buddhist temple in 1229, marking a change in religious practices.

Monthly zazen meditation sessions and annual peony festivals bring together community members to practice traditional Buddhist customs and spiritual reflection.

Located within a 5-minute walk from Shimomaruko Station on the Tokyu Tamagawa Line, the temple offers regular prayer services and meditation sessions.

The temple complex includes the Kuri, a designated residence for priests and their families, maintaining centuries of Buddhist leadership traditions.
