🛡 Warding off misfortune

A Shingon Buddhist temple located in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, officially named Rurizan Myokoin Shomyoji. It is situated on the site of the Sogamachi Castle ruins, which were the former residence of Nitta Yoshitsune, and is designated as a National Historic Site.

History

Shomyoji Temple was established by the Yura clan on the site of the residence of Nitta Yoshitsune, which was constructed in the early 14th century. During the Sengoku period, it was expanded into a castle with triple moats and served as the main headquarters for the Hojo clan. After the castle was abandoned in 1590, it has continued to exist as a Shingon Buddhist temple.
