Mieji was named after Mieji Temple that worshipped an eleven-face Kannon statue. A few remnants and stone markers remain within a small area. No museums. It is in a rural area with hardly any local people to guide tourists. Only a few tourist map signboards indicate the major sights. Near Mieji Station on the Tarumi Line north of JR Ogaki Station.
