Butsuho Shoryu-ji (Temple of the Propagation of Buddhism)

諏訪市四賀桑原4373

4.5(164)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon school, this distinguished ancient temple is home to a rare collection of ritual implements, documents, and sutras dating from the Heian period through the Sengoku period.

History

Founded in 806 CE (Doto 1) by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, it was initially named Jigen-ji and served as the Bessatsu (attached temple) of Suwa Taisha Kamisha. During the Kounin era, it was established by Kobo Daishi Kukai as a place of learning for Shingon Buddhism. In 1560 CE (Eiroku 3), the temple relocated to its current site and was renamed Butsuho Shoryu-ji. During the Edo period, it served as a prayer temple for the Suwa Takashima domain.

What visitors say

Known as one of the 'Three Suwa Maple Viewing Spots Loved by the Lord,' this temple is characterized by a large ginkgo tree visible from the national highway. The grounds feature a 'husband and wife' ginkgo pair, offering vibrant yellow foliage and a carpet of ginkgo nuts during autumn. Due to the narrow, sloping road, visitors must descend via a separate route from the parking area. By paying the admission fee, visitors can view the treasures in the Treasure Hall and the Buddhist statues in the Fugen-do hall.
