Shoman-ji, Buddhist temple in Okazaki, Japan.

Shoman-ji temple features a two-story pagoda considered among the finest examples of religious architecture in the Tokai region of Japan.

The temple, constructed in 1475 by Matsudaira Chikatada, maintained strong connections with both the Matsudaira and Tokugawa clans throughout Japanese history.

The temple holds several Important Cultural Properties, including screen doors with intricate illustrations created by artist Reizei Tamechika.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 300 yen for elementary students.

From the temple grounds, visitors can see Okazaki Castle, forming part of a three-kilometer historical path called the Vista Line.
