Myo-o-in Five-Story Pagoda

〒720-0831 広島県福山市草戸町1473

4.4(76)

A Buddhist temple of the Daikakuji branch of the Shingon sect located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It features a National Treasure five-story pagoda and a main hall, with numerous historical architectural structures and ruins scattered throughout the grounds.

History

Traditionally attributed to Kukai as its founder, the temple was originally of the Ritsu sect. During the Edo period, it merged with the nearby Myo-o-in temple and was renamed Chudo-zan Engo-ji Myo-o-in. It received the patronage of Fukuyama domain lords such as Mizuno Katsushige and Mizuno Katsusada, leading to the reconstruction and construction of many halls and buildings, which elevated it to a prominent regional status. The main hall and five-story pagoda are designated as National Treasures.
