Myōgyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Toshima, Japan
The Myōgyō-ji temple incorporates traditional Japanese wooden architecture with tatami mat flooring and decorative carvings on its main gate.
Founded in 1538 as a branch of Nakayama Hokekyo-ji Temple, Myōgyō-ji later gained independence within the Nichiren Buddhist sect.
The temple maintains the Jukkai Mandala and houses a notable painting of Nichiren that endured through a fire in 1762.
Visitors can reach the temple from Baraki-Nakayama Station with a 10-minute walk, making it accessible from both Narita and Haneda airports.
The temple grounds feature a distinctive drooping cherry tree that blossoms earlier than other trees in the surrounding region.
