Myōkaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Katsuura, Japan.
The Myōkaku-ji temple complex includes a main hall, multiple smaller shrines, and traditional gardens designed according to Buddhist architectural principles.
Founded in 1264 during the Kamakura period, Myōkaku-ji experienced multiple reconstructions, with the current structure completed in autumn 1973 after World War II destruction.
The temple belongs to the Nichiren Buddhist sect and maintains a central role in religious ceremonies, meditation practices, and local celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds, participate in meditation sessions, and learn about Buddhist traditions while enjoying seasonal garden views.
A 1,100-year-old Great Cycad tree stands within the temple grounds, connected to a legend involving Oda Nobunaga and the creation of Ugatoku-ryujin deity.
