Byōdō-ji, Buddhist temple in Anan, Japan.
The temple complex features wooden structures and halls that showcase traditional Japanese architectural elements from different historical periods.
Originally built during the Konin period, Byoudou-ji was destroyed by Chosokabe Motochika's forces in the Tensho era and reconstructed between 1716 and 1736.
The temple houses a precious painting titled 'Autumn Grass, colour on paper with gold ground,' which gained official recognition as Tokushima Prefecture cultural property in 1969.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds through two main routes: a 90-minute Special Course for detailed exploration or a 50-minute Basic Course for essential highlights.
As the 22nd temple on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage, Byoudou-ji enshrines Yakushi Nyorai, the Medicine Buddha associated with healing and light.
