Amida-ji, Buddhist temple in Nachikatsuura, Japan
The temple features a central hall with a 4.8-meter statue of Amida Buddha and contains several connected buildings arranged in a mountain landscape.
Emperor Go-Shirakawa authorized the establishment of Amidaji as a branch of Todaiji Temple in 1187, following the reconstruction efforts after the clan wars.
The temple holds memorial services and performs daily Pure Land nenbutsu chanting rituals for transferring merits and honoring ancestors throughout the year.
Visitors can access the temple grounds from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with prayer services occurring between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM for a fee of 5000 yen.
The temple houses Japan's oldest treasure pagoda from 1197, weighing 820 kilograms and containing a crystal five-ringed tower with Buddha relics from China.
