Chomyoji, Buddhist temple in Sakyō-ku, Japan
The temple contains the Main Hall with Shaka Nyorai and Amida Nyorai statues, connected by stone-paved paths leading to monks' quarters.
In 1662, retainer Chikayoshi Imaeda reconstructed Renge-ji Temple, transforming it from Ji Sect to Tendai Sect under guidance from Enryaku-ji Temple monk Jitsuzobo Jisshun.
The temple grounds feature 300 stone Buddha statues created to honor and remember victims of natural disasters and conflicts.
The temple maintains regular Buddhist services during equinoxes and hosts religious festivals throughout the calendar year.
The garden's pond design incorporates the shape of the Japanese character for water, integrating cultural symbolism into the landscape.
