About

Buddhist temple from 1748 with a thatched bell tower, accompanied by an ancient yew tree.

Founded in 1748, this Buddhist temple stands out for its traditional thatched bell tower and a centuries-old yew tree planted nearby. The site exudes a serenity conducive to contemplation. A peaceful stop in the heart of the historic village. Its art museum (Myōzenji Museum) can be visited separately within the grounds.
