妙深寺, Buddhist temple in Kanagawa-ku, Japan

Myoshin-ji is a Buddhist temple in Kanagawa-ku featuring traditional wooden buildings arranged around a main hall, gateway, and manicured gardens. The grounds are compact and easy to navigate, with different structures and quiet areas to explore.

The temple was established as an important Buddhist center and evolved over centuries through various architectural changes. Its buildings blend Japanese design principles with Buddhist influences that arrived from the mainland in earlier periods.

The temple serves as a gathering place where visitors encounter monks performing daily rituals and see the halls decorated with traditional artwork and calligraphy. These visual elements reflect Buddhist teachings and remain woven into the daily rhythm of the space.

The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset and offer parking areas plus traditional fountains for ritual cleansing. Visitors should dress respectfully and keep quiet, particularly inside the buildings.

During New Year celebrations, the temple bell rings 108 times as a Buddhist practice believed to cleanse earthly attachments with each sound. Visitors often gather to experience this annual ritual firsthand.
