松尾寺, Buddhist temple in Maibara, Japan

Matsuoji Temple is a Buddhist temple in Maibara featuring traditional structures set within a natural mountain environment. The complex includes a main hall for ceremonies and meditation spaces, along with other buildings that blend with the surrounding landscape.

The temple was founded during the medieval period and has developed over centuries through various renovations. It holds the role of the 13th station on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route, a designation that reflects its long-standing religious importance.

The temple serves as a gathering place where locals come to pray and meditate on important days throughout the year. The spaces here are shaped by Buddhist practices that remain central to community life in the area.

The temple is accessible by public transportation with bus connections from nearby railway stations in Shiga Prefecture. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and dress respectfully, particularly if attending any active ceremonies or prayer services.

The temple holds a collection of religious artifacts that offer insight into Buddhist traditions practiced here over time. These objects are not always on public display but provide visitors with the chance to understand the material history of the site when accessible.
