History
Carrying deep history, Myokaku-ji has protected Kyoto since ancient times, inheriting the teachings of Nichiren Shonin. The light of the Lotus Sutra shines brilliantly in this temple. Despite standing in the town of Kamigyo, it maintains its solemnity as a sacred place. Visitors are guided toward enlightenment.
