Myōgaku-ji

The temple complex includes stone pathways leading through Japanese gardens with carefully positioned rocks, plants, and traditional wooden structures.

Founded during the Muromachi period in the 14th century, the temple has maintained its original architectural elements through numerous restorations over time.

The temple holds Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year, where monks perform traditional rituals and meditations following ancient Japanese customs.

Visitors can reach the temple within 8 minutes on foot from Kuramaguchi Station, with clear signage guiding the way through local streets.

The temple grounds contain a small museum displaying Buddhist artifacts and historical documents that detail the development of religious practices in Kyoto.
