Jōdo-ji, Buddhist temple in Ōita, Japan

The temple contains multiple prayer halls and ceremonial spaces dedicated to various Buddhist deities, including Shakyamuni Buddha and Yakushi Nyorai.

Jōdo-ji preserves the connection to Pure Land Buddhism's establishment in Japan, reflecting the religious transformations during the Heian and Kamakura periods.

The temple hosts traditional Kanbutsu-e ceremonies on April 8th to commemorate the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha with rituals and offerings.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds through regular bus services from Ōita Station, with dedicated parking spaces available for those arriving by car.

The temple grounds feature memorial tablets and graves of multiple generations of the Ōishi family, known for their connection to the Forty-seven Rōnin story.
