摩耶寺, Buddhist temple in Shinagawa-ku, Japan

Maya-ji temple features a main hall constructed in 1978 and a dedicated Maya hall housing a wooden statue of Maya, mother of Buddha.

The temple, established in 1667 during the Kanbun period, received important Buddhist statues transferred from Hokke-ji during the persecution of Nichiren Buddhism.

Maya-ji serves as one of the Seven Lucky Gods temples in the Ebara district, enshrining Jurōjin, the god of longevity and wisdom.

The temple welcomes visitors daily with free admission and stands a 7-minute walk from Nishi-Koyama Station on the Tokyu Meguro Line.

The temple preserves a 36.9-centimeter wooden statue of Maya from 1678, which opens for public viewing during Cultural Heritage Week each November.
