Mantoku-ji, Former Buddhist temple in Ota, Japan.
The temple complex features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, surrounded by gardens and stone pathways extending across the grounds.
The temple operated until the Meiji period and gained recognition for providing women a place to initiate divorce proceedings during the Edo period.
The temple serves as a museum displaying artifacts, scrolls, and documents that showcase the historical divorce proceedings and Buddhist practices.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours available in Japanese and English.
The temple holds records of over 200 divorce cases, making it one of the few historical sites documenting women's legal rights in feudal Japan.
