勝福寺, Buddhist temple on Mount Maya in Kobe, Japan.
The temple buildings stand at 699 meters elevation, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with multiple shrines and statues across the grounds.
Founded in 646 by monk Hōdō after curing Emperor Kōtoku's illness, the temple relocated to a higher position following a fire in 1975.
The temple maintains Shingon Buddhist practices, housing a statue of Maya, Buddha's mother, brought from China during the 8th century.
Visitors can reach the temple through established hiking paths on Mount Maya, with photography permitted in designated outdoor areas.
The temple's position on Mount Maya influenced the mountain's name, making it a central reference point in Kobe's religious geography.
