Taki-ji, Buddhist temple in Miyoshi, Japan

Taki-ji is a Shingon Omuro-ha temple on Mount Mannen in the Kamo-no-miya district of Miyoshi. Its main hall stands at the foot of a wooded slope, and behind it are two waterfalls: the 20-meter Ryūzu Falls and the 40-meter Kongō Falls, reached by a ten-minute walking path. The temple is the 67th stop on the New Shikoku Mandala Pilgrimage.

Taki-ji was founded during the Tenchō era (824–833) by Kūkai, with Ogawara Naganori as its founding patron. It prospered through the patronage of the Ogawara, governors of Awa Province, and their descendants, the Miyoshi clan. Behind the main hall is a grave holding part of the ashes of the Sengoku daimyō Miyoshi Nagayoshi.

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 temple grounds hold two named waterfalls: Ryūzu no Taki (20 m) and Kongō no Taki (40 m), also called Momiji no Taki. The main hall stands in front of the hillside, and behind it is the partial-bone grave of the Sengoku daimyō Miyoshi Nagayoshi. The temple's honzon, a wooden Shō Kannon from the Heian period, is shown only on 29 January.
