正覚院, Buddhist temple in Hakui, Japan

Myojoji Temple operates as the main Nichiren Buddhist temple in Hokuriku, featuring seven halls arranged according to Shichido garan principles.

The temple foundation dates to 1294 when Nichizo encountered Manzohoin during his journey to Kyoto, leading to their escape to Takidani.

The temple complex contains ten nationally recognized cultural properties and three prefectural treasures, including traditional Nichiren architectural elements.

From Kanazawa Station, visitors reach the temple via a train to Hakui Station, followed by a 30-minute bus ride through coastal landscapes.

The temple structures have remained intact without fire damage for over 400 years, preserving original architectural features from the 1618 construction.
