Myōhō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fujikawa, Japan.
The temple features a traditional main hall containing a bone fragment relic of Nichiren and an effigy of Prince Morinaga within its sacred walls.
Nichiren, who founded the Buddhist sect bearing his name, established his presence in this location in 1253 before departing for Minobu in 1272.
During August, the temple holds the Yakuyoke Shōga ceremony commemorating the Matsubagayatsu Persecution when Nichiren hid from pursuers in Nagoe forest.
The temple maintains daily operations from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with seasonal adjustments extending hours from 5:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
A mossy stairway leads to two caves, one containing a Nichiren statue while the other functions as a mausoleum for numerous priests.
