Noma-daibō, Buddhist temple in Mihama, Japan.

Noma-daibō is a Buddhist temple in Mihama featuring wooden buildings with tiled roofs set in a quiet setting. The grounds contain a burial area with memorial stones and an ancient bronze bell recognized as a National Important Cultural Property.

The temple originated in ancient times and was later selected by an emperor as a significant site for imperial prayers. This designation helped establish its enduring importance through the centuries.

The temple grounds contain a revered burial site where wooden sword offerings accumulate as gestures of remembrance toward a historical figure. Monks perform ceremonial rituals that visitors can observe, connecting them to centuries-old Buddhist practices still lived here today.

Visitors can observe fire rituals performed by resident monks and receive a temple stamp as a keepsake. You can also speak with the head priest about personal matters in a welcoming environment.

A bronze bell cast in the 13th century remains at the temple and draws visitors from near and far. This artifact shows the skilled metalwork of Japan's medieval period and carries the weight of centuries of tradition.
