History
Standing among the ancient streets of Kamigyo Ward, Myokenji enshrines the Myoken Bodhisattva, which symbolizes the Big Dipper. Like starlight descending from above, blessings flow from this sanctuary. The solemn atmosphere of its hall, the quiet prayers of pilgrims, and the harmonious interplay of all elements create this sacred site. Though perhaps less widely known, its profound spiritual depth reveals exceptional significance to those who discern subtle spiritual power.
