History
Myozo-ji is a tranquil temple surrounded by lush greenery. Founded long ago, it has been a focus of local devotion. Its principal image is Shakyamuni Buddha, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and bring academic success. The temple grounds are meticulously maintained, offering beautiful scenery throughout the seasons. It is a place where one can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and find peace in its silence. I too was healed by its serenity.
