Mangan-ji, Buddhist temple in Tochigi, Japan.
The Mangan-ji temple complex sits among forests and includes a main hall, Deva gate, and traditional Japanese gardens with wooden carvings throughout the grounds.
Founded in 767, the temple's main hall underwent reconstruction in 1764 following a destructive fire that occurred in 1740.
The temple holds regular services for the deceased and serves as the 17th sacred site along the Bandō Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route.
Located at 288 Izuru-machi, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 to 17:00, offering zen meditation sessions for 1000 yen and waterfall meditation for 5000 yen.
