Myōnichi-ji, Buddhist temple in Fukuroi, Japan

Myōnichi-ji is a Buddhist temple in Fukuroi featuring traditional Japanese architecture with a main hall used for prayers and ceremonies. The grounds include several buildings arranged in a layout typical of temples in this region, with spaces for monastic life and worship.

Founded in 1332, the temple was established during a period when Buddhism held strong influence across the Shizuoka region. The site has maintained its role as a center for religious practice over many centuries.

The temple serves as a place where monks perform daily rituals and maintain Buddhist practices that shape the rhythm of monastic life. Visitors can observe how religious routines structure the space and the spiritual activities that unfold throughout each day.

The temple is accessible by train to Fukuroi Station, followed by a short ride to reach the grounds. It is helpful to check in advance for visiting hours, especially if you hope to observe or participate in specific ceremonies.

The temple grounds are transformed during special lighting events when carefully placed lights highlight the architecture in unexpected ways. These nighttime displays reveal details of the structures that appear quite different from daytime views.
