Komyo-ji

The temple features wooden structures set within gardens, incorporating traditional Japanese architectural elements with ornate carvings and decorative details throughout the complex.

Established during the Kamakura period, Komyo-ji became the seventh temple in the Bando Sanjusankasho pilgrimage route dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy.

Pilgrims visiting Komyo-ji participate in Buddhist ceremonies, leave paper tokens, and follow specific prayer rituals as part of their spiritual journey through the temple.

The temple grounds remain open year-round, with direct bus access from Hiratsuka Station and dedicated parking facilities for visitors arriving by private transportation.

Komyo-ji houses a specific representation of Sho Kannon with multiple arms, forming part of the 1300-kilometer pilgrimage circuit across Eastern Japan.
