Mantoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Obama, Japan
Mantoku-ji sits at the foot of mountains, featuring traditional wooden structures and a 1500-square-meter Japanese garden with rock arrangements and ponds.
Founded in 1265 as Gokuraku-ji, the temple changed its affiliation from Tendai to Shingon sect during the Oan period between 1368 and 1374.
The temple houses a seated Amida Nyorai statue from the late Heian period, measuring 141.5 centimeters in height, designated as an Important Cultural Property.
Located near public transportation routes, the temple opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring its gardens, structures, and Buddhist artifacts.
A 500-year-old maple tree within the temple grounds, known as Oyama Momiji, measures 3.6 meters in circumference and holds National Natural Monument status.
