Dōjō-ji, Buddhist temple in Hidakagawa, Japan.
The temple complex contains multiple halls, including a main hall completed in 1357 that houses numerous Buddhist statues and cultural treasures.
Founded in 701 AD at Emperor Monmu's request, the temple site has revealed archaeological evidence including roof tiles from the early 8th century.
The temple inspired several theatrical works, particularly the Noh drama that tells the story of Anchin and Kiyohime's supernatural transformation.
Located at 1738 Kanemaki, the temple grounds remain open 24 hours daily, while the Treasure Hall requires an entrance fee for viewing artifacts.
During renovations in 1985, workers discovered a Senju Kannon statue from the Nara period hidden within the walls of the Main Hall.
