妙法寺

Myohoji Temple features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, including a designated cultural bell tower and main hall within its grounds.

The temple, established around 1615, moved from Kakuzan to Shinza before settling at its current location in Tsuyama, marking local religious development.

The temple bell contains the earliest recorded use of the name Tsuyama, dating back to September 1614, making it significant for local identity.

The temple grounds include parking facilities and can be reached within 10 minutes by car from the Insho Interchange of the Chugoku Expressway.

The temple holds the distinction of being the largest Nichiren sect establishment in the Mimasaka region, with its main hall designated as cultural property.
