Muryōji, Buddhist temple in Gamagōri, Japan
Muryōji Temple displays an ancient five-story pagoda within its mountainous setting, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture and natural surroundings.
During the Kamakura Period from 1185 to 1333, this temple earned recognition as the 'woman's Koyasan' by accepting female worshippers when other temples maintained male-only policies.
The temple houses the eleven-faced Kannon statue, designated as a National Treasure, along with a wooden Shaka Nyorai statue representing Buddhist artistry.
The temple remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission, providing 45 car spaces and 20 bus spaces in its parking area.
Visitors can purchase specialized ema votive tablets designed specifically for cancer prevention, reflecting the temple's reputation for health-related spiritual support.
