妙厳寺, Soto Zen Buddhist temple in Toyokawa, Japan.
Myogonji Temple, also known as Toyokawa Inari, houses both Buddhist and fox deity elements within its expansive temple grounds in Aichi Prefecture.
Founded in 1441 by Tokai Gieki, the temple received protection from feudal lord Imagawa Yoshimoto who constructed several temple buildings during the Muromachi period.
The temple enshrines both the Buddhist Thousand-Armed Kannon as its main deity and Dakini-ten, a fox deity, reflecting the fusion of Buddhist and fox worship.
The temple welcomes visitors daily and can be reached within 5 minutes on foot from either JR Toyokawa Station or Meitetsu Toyokawa Inari Station.
The temple maintains hundreds of fox statues throughout its grounds, including one named Heihachi, which holds particular significance in local folklore.
