Gangoji and Naramachi
奈良市北室町
A temple in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, established when Hōkōji, Japan's oldest full-scale Buddhist temple, relocated to Heijō-kyō (Nara). It is one of the Nanto Shichidaiji (Seven Great Temples of Nara) and is currently divided into three separate temples.
History
This temple was established when Hōkōji, originally built by Soga no Maro in Asuka, relocated to Heijō-kyō following the transfer of the capital. During the Nara period, it flourished as a major temple alongside Tōdaiji and Kōfukuji. However, it declined from the medieval period onward and split into three parts: Gokuraku-bō, Tōseki, and Shōtō-in. Today, Gokuraku-bō survives as a branch temple of Sai-daiji, Tōseki as a branch temple of Tōdaiji, and Shōtō-in as a temple of the Shingon Risshū sect.
