安養寺, Buddhist temple in Kishinohigashi, Japan

The Anyo-ji Temple includes a main hall containing Amida Buddha statue, accompanied by statues of Kannon and Seishi Bodhisattvas and Fudo Myoo.

The temple complex dates from the period between 727 and 785, with records suggesting it maintained substantial buildings during the Kamakura period.

Monthly sutra copying sessions take place on the 25th day, allowing participants to engage in traditional Buddhist calligraphy practice.

The temple office operates from 9:00 to 17:00, though visitors should verify opening hours beforehand as closures occur during religious ceremonies.

The temple maintains permanent memorial services and houses the Kaikei Buddha statue, classified as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
