母恩寺, Buddhist temple in Miyakojima-ku, Japan.
The temple grounds contain wooden structures with traditional Japanese architectural elements, featuring detailed carvings and symmetrical design throughout the buildings.
Founded in 731, the temple served as a guardian sanctuary against malevolent forces approaching from the northeast direction toward Heijo Palace.
The temple enshrines Bishamonten, the god of warriors, and houses multiple Buddhist statues including an eleven-headed Kanzeon and Bodhisattva Monju.
Located west of JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with an entrance fee of 400 yen.
Priest Genbo returned here in 734 after surviving a severe storm that destroyed his fleet, bringing 5,000 Buddhist scripture scrolls from China.
