Taiunzan Kagekkuji
赤穂市加里屋１９９２
A Soto sect Buddhist temple located in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, with the mountain name Taiunzan. It serves as the ancestral temple for the lords of the Ako Domain and houses the graves of the loyal retainers (Gishi) and various historical cultural assets.
History
Founded in the early Edo period by Asano Naganae as the ancestral temple for the Asano family, the temple invited Shugan Ryuta to serve as its founding monk (Kaizan). It has deep historical ties with the Mori and Asano families, the ruling clans of the Ako Domain, and its grounds contain the graves of the loyal retainers and the ancestors of the Oishi family. Following the Meiji Restoration, the mountain gate (Sanmon) was relocated from the Ako Castle buildings and is currently designated as a tangible cultural property by Ako City.
