Sokusei-ji Temple
éæ¢ åžææšçºïŒäžç®ïŒâïŒ å³æž 寺
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Hachioji City, Tokyo, also known as Atago-san Myo-o-in Sokusei-ji. It serves as a station on the Tama 88 Pilgrimage and the Kanto 88 Pilgrimage.
History
The temple was founded during the Kenkyu period (1190-1199 CE) by the monk Genyu. Its predecessor was a thatched hut established by the Great Master Chisho Enchin during the Genkei period (877-885 CE). Hachisuka Shigechika, a vassal of Minamoto no Yoritomo, developed the various halls and buildings. The temple's name is derived from Shigechika's posthumous Buddhist name.
