Abeno Manju-in
桜井市阿部６４５
A Kegon sect temple recognized as one of the three great Manjusri temples in Japan, housing the National Treasure 'Wooden Statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva Riding a Lion and Attendant Figures' created by Kaikei.
History
The temple's origins date back to 645 CE (Taika 1), when Abe no Uratamaro established Abe-yama Sukei-ji (Abe-ji) as the ancestral temple of the Abe clan. During the Kamakura period, it was relocated to its current site and revived, with the main image of Manjusri Bodhisattva crafted by the Buddhist sculptor Kaikei. In 1665 CE (Kanbun 5), the main hall of the former Abe-ji Man'gan-ji was rebuilt, becoming the present Manju-in.

What visitors say
An admission fee is required to view the main hall housing the National Treasure 'Manjusri Crossing the Sea' group statues and the Reihokan Museum. Visitors highly praise the imposing presence and beauty of the Buddhist statues, including the image of Manjusri riding a lion. While the parking lot is paid, bicycles and motorcycles can be parked for free. Special access to the interior of the main hall allows for a close-up view of the statues, and the process for obtaining Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) is smooth.
