Myōren-ji, Buddhist temple in Minami-Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan
Myōren-ji stands in a residential area of Minami-Shinagawa, displaying traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures and curved rooflines.
Founded in 1457 by monk Nittan, the temple became a significant institution where two of its early abbots later served as head priests at Myōman-ji.
The temple grounds contain multiple burial sites of notable figures, including the former courtesan Usugumo Tayu and politician Takagi Masanori.
Located 152 meters from Shin-Bamba Station, the temple maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in Buddhist practices and meditation sessions.
The temple preserves historical manuscripts that earned it recognition as an important cultural property by Shinagawa Ward authorities.
