Myōren-ji

Myōren-ji temple displays traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with its wooden structures and detailed ornamental features across its extensive grounds.

The temple was established in 1908 following the merger of two previous temples, Myōsen-ji and Renkō-ji, due to railway construction developments.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and community gatherings, serving as a central point for religious practices in the Kikuna district.

Located next to Myōren-ji Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, the temple provides religious services and educational programs about Buddhist teachings.

The temple grounds partially extend beneath the railway tracks, with the station being constructed around the temple property rather than displacing it.
