Kongo-ji, Buddhist temple in Miki, Japan.

The temple complex features stone paths, traditional lanterns, and a rock garden layout that follows established Buddhist architectural principles.

Constructed in 1593 during the Edo period, Kongo-ji Temple underwent a complete reconstruction in 1863 to maintain its structural integrity.

The temple incorporates elements of the Shingon Buddhist sect, displaying decorative motifs of cranes and natural elements throughout its buildings.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds via the Nankai Rinkan Bus service from Koyasan Station, with English audio guides available at the information center.

The temple grounds contain numerous Buddhist statues hidden among the gardens, including a notable figure of a pilgrim wearing a traditional sun hat.
