Gumyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Yokohama, Japan
Gumyo-ji Temple features an 11-faced Kannon statue standing at 181 centimeters tall, carved from a single elm tree during the Heian period.
Founded in 737 by the Buddhist monk Gyoki, the temple received land grants from the Hojo clan and official recognition from successive Tokugawa shoguns.
The temple serves as the 14th station along the Bando Sanjusan Kannon pilgrimage route, drawing Buddhist practitioners from across eastern Japan.
The temple grounds open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with stamp offices operating between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, located 2 minutes from Gumyoji Station.
The temple floor contains original wood materials from its 1044 construction, making it the oldest religious structure in Yokohama.
