Muryoko-ji, Buddhist temple in Akashi, Japan

Muryoko-ji is a Jodo-shu temple in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, with the mountain name Getsuura-san and Amida Nyorai as its principal image. Its two-storey main gate is built entirely of keyaki wood and carries carvings attributed to Hidari Jingoro; the main hall and Genshi Inari were rebuilt after a 1945 air raid burned the rest of the temple.

Tradition holds that Muryoko-ji stands on the site of the "Hama no Tachi" mansion of Hikaru Genji in the Akashi chapter of Murasaki Shikibu's Tale of Genji. The temple is said to have been revived in 1613 (Keicho 18). On 6 July 1945 the Kobe air raid burned the whole temple; only the mountain gate, with carvings attributed to Hidari Jingoro, survived, and the main hall and Genji Inari were rebuilt after the war.

The temple is the second stop on the Akashi Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage. Its grounds include Genji Inari, a small shrine rebuilt after the 1945 fire, and the narrow lane before the gate is called the Tsuta no Hosomichi, said to be the path Genji took to visit the Lady of Akashi in The Tale of Genji.

The temple stands at 10-11 Daikancho, Akashi, about 10 minutes on foot from Nishishinmachi Station on the Sanyo line, or 25 minutes from Akashi Station. City buses stop at Daikanbashi, 10 minutes away. The narrow lane in front is called the Tsuta no Hosomichi.

The temple's mountain gate survived the July 6, 1945 Kobe air raid that burned the rest of the complex; its carvings are attributed to the Edo-period sculptor Hidari Jingoro. The main hall and the Genji Inari shrine were rebuilt after the war. The temple is the second stop on the Akashi Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage.
