Mie-ji, Buddhist temple in Gifu, Japan

Mie-ji is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Mieji-chō, Gifu, known as Mie-ji Kannon. Its main hall, rebuilt in 1955 after the 1945 Gifu air raid, houses an Eleven-faced Kannon. The grounds also hold an Amida hall (1952) and a Niō gate (1986). The temple's Kanshitsu Eleven-faced Kannon standing statue, 176.6 cm tall and made in the 8th-century Nara period, is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property.

According to the Shinpen Mino-shi, the temple originated in 717 when an Eleven-faced Kannon from Iga Province was moved to Mino to protect residents from floods of the Ibi and Nagara rivers. Founded in 719 in what is now Mizuho, it was relocated to its present site in 1549, during Saito Dosan's construction of Inabayama Castle, to guard the castle's southwest. The main buildings burned in the 1945 Gifu air raid; the main hall was rebuilt in 1955 and the Niomon gate in 1986.

The temple is commonly called Mie-ji Kannon rather than by its formal name. Its name comes from the story that the river floods subsided and the riverbed became a clear stream, suggesting a beautiful long river. The Mie-ji Matsuri, also known as Kenka Matsuri or Kuwamatsuri, was held on the first Sunday of March: a man wearing a shōjō mask threw wooden ladles into the crowd and divined fortune from how the ladle's bottom was hollowed out. The festival is no longer held.

Mie-ji stands at 2-3 Mieji-chō, Gifu, a short walk from the Mieji-chō or Shiminkaikan-Saibansho-mae bus stops, served by Gifu Bus lines from JR Gifu and Meitetsu Gifu stations. The main hall, Amida hall and Niō gate were rebuilt between 1952 and 1986 after the 1945 air raid, so the compound is compact and level. The Kanshitsu Kannon is shown on 18 April each year.

The temple serves as the 18th sacred site on the Mino pilgrimage route and also appears on the Tōkai Hakujū Thirty-three Kannon circuit. This dual role makes it a junction point for different pilgrimage traditions in the region.
