Mangetsu-ji (満月寺) is a temple beside Lake Biwa in Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The Heian period statue of Shō Kannon is an Important Cultural Property.[1]
The temple, specifically the Ukimidō "floating temple" hall, features in one of the remaining views of the Eight Views of Ōmi, originally drawn by Hiroshige. The print featuring the temple is "The wild geese returning home at Katata" (堅田の落雁).
