Hōyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Aizumisato, Japan.
The temple grounds contain traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and detailed carvings characteristic of religious buildings in Fukushima Prefecture.
Throughout centuries, Hōyō-ji has maintained its position as a significant religious center within the Aizumisato region, following the traditions of Sōtō Zen Buddhism.
Monthly memorial services at Hōyō-ji, known as Shotsuki-hoyo, bring the community together to honor deceased family members and friends.
Visitors can reach Hōyō-ji by taking an 85-minute drive from Shin-Shirakawa Station or a 20-minute journey from Aizuwakamatsu IC on the Banetsu Expressway.
The temple conducts bilingual services, offering both Japanese and English ceremonies on the first Sunday of each month for memorial observances.
