妙楽寺

The main hall of Myoraku-ji Temple features a hipped roof covered with cypress bark and measures 11.51 meters in length by 10.61 meters in width.

Founded in 719 by monk Gyoki, the temple underwent restoration in 797 under the direction of Buddhist master Kukai during his pilgrimage.

The principal statue, a standing Thousand-Armed Kannon Bodhisattva from the Heian period, measures 176.3 centimeters and displays twenty-four faces.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with an entrance fee of 400 yen and parking available for 30 vehicles including tour buses.

The temple's main statue retains its original colors and gold leaf due to its historical status as a hidden Buddhist image.
