Myōō-in, Buddhist temple in Umeda, Japan.
The Myōō-in temple stands at the intersection of traditional and modern architecture, featuring a main hall and several auxiliary buildings within its grounds.
Established in 1178 by monk Kobo Daishi, the temple underwent modifications during the Edo period when it changed its affiliation to the Shingon Buddhism sect.
The temple maintains a collection of Buddhist artifacts, including an Eleven-Faced Kannon statue from the early Heian period that serves as the main object of worship.
The temple welcomes visitors daily and offers guided tours explaining the significance of its architectural elements and religious practices.
The temple houses two National Treasures: the Main Hall from 1321 and a five-story pagoda completed in 1348, measuring 29 meters in height.
