Nakayama-dera, Buddhist temple in Takarazuka, Japan.
Nakayama-dera Temple features traditional wooden structures, including a distinctive blue five-story pagoda containing Buddha's relics and multiple prayer halls across its grounds.
Founded by Prince Shotoku, this temple became the first Kannon pilgrimage site in Japan, later relocating to its current location in 1603 after destruction during military conflicts.
The temple maintains its position as a primary destination for prayers related to childbirth, with monthly ceremonies occurring on days of the zodiac dog sign.
The temple grounds incorporate modern accessibility features, including elevators and handrails, making it convenient for pregnant women and visitors with mobility requirements.
The temple hosts an annual Star Descent Ceremony on August 9th, where praying on this day equals the merit of 46,000 regular temple visits.
