Saikō-ji, Buddhist temple in Meiro no Machi, Tonoshō, Japan

Saikō-ji temple stands within a network of winding alleyways designed to shield structures from strong ocean winds and potential pirate attacks.

The temple marks the 58th stop along the Shōdoshima Pilgrimage route, featuring a pagoda that functions as the Seikou-ji Okunoin Oath Tower.

The temple neighborhood contains structures from the Meiji period, including former kimono warehouses, soy sauce vendors, and letterpress printing factories.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds and surrounding galleries while enjoying free parking facilities and convenient access to neighboring attractions.

The temple sits in Meiro no Machi, where narrow alleyways form an intricate maze pattern established over 700 years ago.
