壬生寺

The temple features multiple buildings including Amida-do, Benten-do, and Dai Nembutsu-do, with a dedicated stage for traditional performances.

Founded in 991 by monk Kaiken of Onjo-ji, the temple changed its name from Komii-dera to Mibu-dera following an imperial visit by Emperor Shirakawa.

The temple holds regular Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year, including New Year celebrations and memorial services for the deceased at the designated prayer halls.

Visitors can access multiple halls within the temple complex, including the main building that houses the principal Ksitigarbha statue from Toshodai-ji.

The temple grounds contain a bronze statue of Shinsengumi commander Kondo Isami and a monument that plays their theme song when pressed.
