Myogen-in

The Myogen-in temple features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, stone pathways, and meditation gardens surrounded by ancient trees throughout its grounds.

Founded in 759 AD by Chinese monk Jianzhen, Myogen-in stands as a testament to the architectural influences of China's Tang Dynasty in Japanese religious buildings.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist teachings, maintaining practices introduced by Jianzhen while fostering spiritual connections between Chinese and Japanese communities.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily through public transportation, with guided tours available in multiple languages during regular operating hours.

The temple preserves original eighth-century structures that survived numerous natural disasters, including rare architectural elements from the Tang Dynasty period.
