Jōkyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishinomiya, Japan.
The temple contains a grand wooden Amida Nyorai statue measuring 276.7 centimeters in height, crafted from hinoki cypress during the Kamakura period.
Founded in 1241 by Buddhist monk Shoku, the temple experienced fires in 1473 and 1578, leading to its reconstruction during the Meiji period.
The temple houses three Notable Cultural Properties: the primary Amida Buddha statue and two attendant bodhisattvas, all created through joined-wood construction techniques.
Located at 2-20-24 Ikeda Town, the temple provides parking spaces and stands within a 5-minute walk from Ikenose Station on the JR West Fukuchiyama Line.
The temple received its name from the Jokyo Bridge, which Shoku built over the Mukogawa River to assist travelers crossing the waterway.
