Amida-ji, Buddhist temple in Wakabayashi-ku, Japan
The temple features traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures, curved roofs, and a garden that changes with seasonal variations throughout the year.
Founded in 1277, Amida-ji emerged during a period of Buddhist expansion in Japan, establishing itself as a center for Pure Land Buddhism teachings.
The temple holds the Mikaeri-Amida statue, which represents Amitabha looking back, symbolizing guidance for those who progress slowly in their spiritual path.
Visitors can participate in prayer sessions at Amida-ji from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, with general temple grounds open for viewing until 5:00 PM.
The temple gained recognition as a guardian temple for childbirth after Empress Komyo established it to express gratitude for her safe delivery.
