Saimyoji, Buddhist temple in Mima, Japan
The temple grounds include multiple traditional structures constructed during the Kamakura period, featuring a main hall and a three-tiered pagoda.
Established in 834 by priest Sanshū under Emperor Nimmyō's command, Saimyoji Temple developed into a religious center with 17 Buddha halls and 300 priests' quarters.
The Main Hall and Three-story Pagoda demonstrate traditional Japanese carpentry techniques, as both structures were built without using any nails.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a train to the nearest station and continuing their journey by taxi or scheduled shuttle bus service.
The temple grounds feature a 250-year-old cherry tree that produces blossoms during three different seasons: spring, autumn, and winter.
