Zenkouji Temple
大阪市平野区平野本町４丁目１２−２１
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, also known as 'Hino Yakushi'. It features diverse facilities such as a Jigoku-do (Hell Hall) and a museum, and is often referred to as 'Osaka's Weird Temple'.
History
Its origins are said to date back to the Asuka period, when Prince Shotoku built a Buddhist hall on this site and enshrined an image of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha). During the medieval period, it became an estate of the Fujiwara clan. Following the Onin War, it prospered as a walled city supported by wealthy merchants. The main hall was originally constructed in 1576 CE (Tensho 4). After it was destroyed by fire during the Summer Campaign of Osaka, it was rebuilt in 1661 CE.
