Myōjō-ji, Buddhist temple in Taitō-ku, Japan
The Myōjō-ji temple compound includes several traditional buildings with a five-story pagoda standing 35 meters tall at its center.
Established in 1294 by Nichizo, a disciple of Nichiren, the temple received patronage from the Maeda Clan who ruled the Kaga domain.
The temple functions as the principal center of Nichiren Buddhism in the Hokuriku Region, maintaining centuries-old religious practices and ceremonies.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM between April and October, with a 500 yen admission fee.
The temple's pagoda features the only tochibuki-style roof design among similar structures in Japan, dating back to 1618.
