Mitsumotodera (Mitsumoto-dera)
宇治市莵道滋賀谷２１
A special head temple of the Hozan Shugendo sect located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, known as the 10th station of the Saikoku 33 Pilgrimage.
History
According to tradition, it was founded in 770 CE (Hoki 1) by the monk Gyohyo of Daianji Temple, by imperial decree from Emperor Kounen. Later, Emperor Kazan established a detached palace here, and the temple became the 10th station of the Saikoku 33 Pilgrimage. Because it served as a detached palace for three emperors—Kounen, Kazan, and Shirakawa—the original name, 'Mushimotodera,' was changed to 'Mitsumotodera.'
