Monju-in, Buddhist temple in Nakajuku, Japan
The temple features a main hall with a single bay nagare-zukuri design, shake roofing, and multiple wooden structures spread across its grounds.
The temple's main building, reconstructed in 1665 after several fires, contains inscriptions from 1203 revealing names of fifty donors inside the Manjusri statue.
Students visit the temple to place wooden tablets with written wishes for academic success, connecting to Monju's traditional role as deity of wisdom.
The temple maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours explaining the significance of its architectural elements and religious artifacts.
The temple houses a seven-meter-tall statue group depicting Manjusri seated on a lion accompanied by four attendant figures.
