Chigen-ji, Buddhist temple in Miyazu, Japan.
The temple grounds contain multiple traditional buildings including a two-storied pagoda and a main hall situated near Amano-hashidate Station.
Kyōgoku Takahiro established Chigen-ji in 1625, during the early Edo period, as part of the expansion of Buddhist practices in the region.
Chigen-ji functions as a training center for practitioners of the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism and maintains regular prayer ceremonies throughout the year.
The temple welcomes visitors daily and offers parking facilities, with public transportation access available through the Kitakinki Tango Railway Miyazu Line.
The temple exhibits its principal Monju Bosatsu statue five times annually, including during New Year celebrations, making it a significant Buddhist artifact.
