Chōhō-ji

The temple grounds contain multiple buildings featuring traditional Buddhist architecture alongside statues of Kannon and an Acala figure for protection.

The temple originated when Prince Shotoku commissioned the creation of a Yakushinyorai statue, leading to the construction of a small shrine that expanded into Chōhō-ji.

The temple includes a jigoku-do section that presents Buddhist interpretations of hell through educational displays about moral decisions and consequences.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a train to JR Hirano Station and walking south through streets filled with local shops.

The sacred Yakushinyorai statue within the main hall opens for public viewing only twice per year, during January and autumn months.
