Myōgyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Machida, Japan.

Myōgyō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Machida featuring traditional wooden buildings and tranquil garden spaces arranged around a central hall. The grounds are organized by pathways with stepping stones, a pond with swimming carp, and carefully maintained plantings throughout the site.

The temple retains its original architectural features including a traditional gate and a water drainage system that uses chains instead of standard downspouts. These elements reflect the building methods used when the structure was first constructed.

This temple serves as an active place where visitors can observe people engaged in prayer and quiet reflection throughout the grounds. The spaces are designed to support these spiritual practices in a welcoming setting.

The temple is located in Machida and accessible via the JR Yokohama Line and Odakyu Odawara Line stations. Visitors should plan for a leisurely pace to walk the paths and view the grounds comfortably.

The temple features a koi pond with large Japanese carp that swim among the garden plantings. These colorful fish create a striking focal point that many visitors find memorable.
