Hōkyō-in, Buddhist temple in Mishima, Japan.
The temple features numerous statues and carvings depicting Buddhist deities, with wooden guardians positioned at the entrance of the worship hall.
Founded in 1278, Hōkyō-in was established when Ijira Tomotoshi's son constructed the temple for Jakuen, who named it after the Chinese Hōkyō era.
The temple preserves original texts written by Dogen and maintains traditional Sōtō Zen Buddhist practices through daily ceremonies and meditation sessions.
Located within walking distance from Mishima Station, the temple welcomes visitors who want to explore its grounds and religious artifacts.
The temple holds significance as the place where Keizan reached enlightenment under Jakuen's guidance in 1285, marking a pivotal moment in Sōtō Zen history.
