Murō-ji is a historic Buddhist temple located in Uda, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Known for its serene mountain setting, the temple is often referred to as the "Women's Kōyasan" because it historically allowed female worshippers, unlike many other temples at the time. Established in the 8th century, Murō-ji features several important cultural properties, including a five-story pagoda that is one of the oldest wooden structures in Japan. The temple grounds are especially beautiful during the autumn season when the foliage turns vibrant shades of red and gold.
