Taki-ji

Taki-ji is a Buddhist temple in Miyoshi featuring wooden buildings with detailed carved ornaments and painted elements. The structures sit within a forested setting with stone pathways and landscaped grounds that shape how visitors move through the space.

The temple was founded in the early Edo period and became affiliated with the Shingon Buddhist school. Through the following centuries, it maintained its role as a local religious center and kept its traditional practices intact.

The temple serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors participate in daily prayer rituals and seasonal observances. Buddhist teachings and monastic life shape how the space is used and how people move through it.

The temple sits on a hillside in forested surroundings and is best visited during warmer months when paths are dry. Sturdy shoes are helpful since some routes climb through uneven terrain and can be slippery after rain.

The name translates to 'waterfall temple' because of cascading water features found on the temple grounds. This natural element was central to why monks chose this location and remains part of what makes it feel different from other temples.
