Mangyō Ji, Buddhist temple in Gionmachi, Japan
The temple features a main worship hall with two distinctive ridge-end tiles, a female one on the left and a male one on the right.
During the 16th century siege of Ishiyama Hongan-ji, the temple provided weapons and supplies to the Mōri Clan against Oda Nobunaga's forces.
The temple displays the Mōri clan's crest with sagittaria trifolia flower, which differs from the traditional wisteria used by other Pure Land temples.
Visitors can reach the temple within three minutes on foot from Fukuoka Subway Gion Station or ten minutes from Hakata Station.
Two black cats named Kurosuke and Yōda, born in 2014, regularly greet visitors at the temple's reception area.
