Jingū-ji, Buddhist temple in Futenma, Japan.

The temple features a central hall with a golden Kannon statue, traditional nagare-zukuri architecture, and multiple prayer areas distributed across its grounds.

Founded in 1459 during the reign of Ryukyuan King Sho Taikyu, Jingu-ji underwent reconstruction in 1997 after its destruction during World War II.

Following the traditions of Shingon Buddhism, the temple conducts regular ceremonies, including fire-walking rituals and summer festivals throughout the year.

Located adjacent to Futenma Shrine, the temple maintains an honor system shop for purchasing religious items and offers free access to its grounds.

A wooden swing chair beneath a tree provides visitors with a designated space for meditation while overlooking the temple grounds.
