Myojoji Temple
妙成寺
The Hokuriku head temple of the Nichiren school, home to Noto's only five-story pagoda. Ten buildings in its compound are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
Founded in 1294, this Nichiren-school temple was protected by the Maeda family of the Kaga domain in the early Edo period. Ten buildings in total, including the five-story pagoda, the main hall and the Soshi-do (Founder's Hall), are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan. The temple is built into the mountainside, and the autumn foliage framing the pagoda is especially lovely. Located in Hakui City, it is about 10 minutes' drive from Keta Taisha. (Please check opening status before setting out, as the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake affected operations.)
