妙見寺, Buddhist temple in Takasaki, Japan.
Myokenji Temple stands at the base of Mount Sankō, featuring multiple worship halls dedicated to Buddha and other deities including Myoken Bosatsu.
According to historical records, the temple was established in 714 by Fujiwara no Tadaaki, who discovered a mysterious light in the northern direction during his stay.
The temple maintains a collection of Buddhist statues, including the principal image of Shakyamuni Buddha and the distinctive wooden statue of Myoken Bosatsu from mid-Edo period.
