Kouonji Temple
千代田町赤岩１０４１
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, traditionally said to have been re-established as a dojo for the propagation of esoteric Buddhism by Kobo Daishi. It houses Important Cultural Properties, including bronze five-type bells, a three-Buddha statue of Amida, and a stone stele depicting Jizo Bosatsu.
History
It is considered one of the nine temples established by Emperor Yuryaku for the Anahora Palace, and it is said that Hata Kawakatsu enshrined Buddhist relics there. In 814 CE (Koun 5), Kobo Daishi re-established the temple as a dojo for esoteric Buddhist propagation and installed a Jizo statue he had made himself, leading to the temple taking the name 'Jizo-in.' Later, Emperor Go-Daigo bestowed the title 'Akaiwayama Kouonji' upon it, and it flourished as the family temple of local powerful clans.
