묘코지

The temple buildings of Kakuda-san Myoko-ji display traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures and curved roofs against mountain scenery.

Founded during the expansion of Buddhism across Japan, this temple maintains architectural elements from different periods of Japanese religious development.

The temple bell rings 108 times on New Year's Eve, following the Buddhist tradition of cleansing the 108 earthly desires that bind humans.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with dedicated parking areas and marked paths leading to the main buildings.

The temple structures incorporate specific architectural elements that respond to local weather patterns while maintaining religious significance throughout seasons.
