Mago-ji, Buddhist temple in Takahama, Japan.

Mago-ji temple stands among cedar and maple trees, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and garden designs that complement its religious structures.

The temple traces its origins to Prince Shotoku during the Asuka Period between 593 and 710, marking over 1300 years of Buddhist presence in Takahama.

The temple holds a valuable sandalwood Bodhisattva statue from the Muromachi period, which remains hidden from public view except once every twelve years.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through local transportation networks, with parking facilities and information services available for guests throughout the year.

The temple participates in the 33 Kannon Hokuriku Pilgrimage Route, connecting Buddhist sites across three prefectures in the region.
