Myōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Ichinomiya, Japan
The Myōkō-ji temple grounds extend across a large area with numerous buildings and gardens, including the national important cultural property Chokushi-mon Gate.
Founded in 1348 during the Muromachi period, Myōkō-ji became a significant center for Zen Buddhism under the guidance of the Myoshinji Temple in Kyoto.
The temple maintains regular Zazen meditation sessions on the 1st and 15th of each month, allowing visitors to practice meditation with Buddhist monks.
Visitors can reach the temple through a 7-minute walk from Myokoji Station on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line or a 10-minute drive from Ichinomiya Interchange.
The temple grounds were the training location for Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, leading to the development of the Mutodori school of swordsmanship during the Sengoku period.
