妙法寺, Buddhist temple in Iwaki, Japan
Myohoji Temple sits on a hilltop in the Izumi district of Iwaki, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture and multiple prayer halls.
Founded in 1398 during the Muromachi period, Myohoji Temple was demolished in 1871 during the anti-Buddhist movement and rebuilt in 1880.
The temple belongs to the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist sect and maintains regular religious ceremonies throughout the year for the local community.
Visitors can reach the temple within 20 minutes by car from the Iwaki-Nakoso Interchange on the Joban Expressway or 15 minutes from Izumi Station.
The temple houses a principal image of Buddha created in 1420 by the ninth high priest Nichiu of the Nichiren Shoshu sect.
