On a trip to Fukuyama I decided to wake up at 6:30 am and take a short walk to Myoo-in Temple. It was a cold and dreary morning so the lighting on my iPhone isn’t the greatest. At Myoo-in Temple I saw a torii gate and decided to proceed under it to see where the path led. I ended up hiking up a small mountain under the rain and catching a nice view of Fukuyama. The Myoo-in Temple is said to be constructed back in 807, with the main hall being constructed in 1321 and the pagoda in 1348. The Five Story Pagoda seen here is the 5th oldest Pagoda in Japan. The main object of worship at this site is a statue of an Eleven-faced Kannon. The temple has two National Treasures (the main hall and pagoda) and one Important Cultural Property (the Eleven-faced Kannon).
