弥勒寺, Buddhist temple in Fujisawa, Japan

Mirokoji Temple stands in a residential district of Fujisawa, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements with its main gate and prayer hall.

North-facing Mirokoji Temple, established in 1226 by Hojo Yasutoki, underwent transformation from a Zen temple to a Nichiren Buddhist temple in 1573.

The temple holds regular Buddhist ceremonies and maintains the traditions of the Nichiren school, with the main object of worship being Nichiren himself.

Visitors reach the temple by taking a bus from Fujisawa Station to Kozuka Chikadou-mae stop, with opening hours from early morning until late afternoon.

The temple survived multiple fires throughout its history, with only its Miroku Buddha statue remaining intact during the Genko incident.
