Myōgyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nakamura-chō, Japan.

The temple grounds include traditional Buddhist architectural elements with a prominent pagoda structure and carefully arranged garden spaces at its entrance.

Established in 1538 as a branch of Nakayama Hokekyo-ji Temple, Myōgyō-ji later gained independence within the Nichiren Buddhist denomination.

The temple contains the Katyu Shutsugen Bouka Soshi Zou painting, which depicts Nichiren amid flames, serving as a symbol for fire prevention.

Located at coordinates 35.173653, 136.855989, the temple welcomes visitors daily and maintains regular schedules for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions.

The temple features a slow-blooming drooping cherry tree that marks the first appearance of cherry blossoms in the local area.
