Myōgyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishisugamo, Toshima-ku, Japan.

The temple occupies a large area in northern Tokyo, featuring traditional wooden architecture with carved details and multiple prayer halls.

Established in 1538 by Nichiren sect priest Nisshin, the temple became an important religious center for local residents during the Edo period.

Seasonal celebrations at the temple include early spring cherry blossom viewing, where the temple's drooping cherry tree signals the start of sakura season.

Located at 4 Chome-8-28 Nishisugamo, visitors can reach the temple by taking public transportation to Toshima station and walking east for ten minutes.

The temple contains the Jukkai Mandala and a special statue depicting Nichiren amid flames, representing protection against fire disasters.
