Anshoin
〒605-0864 京都府京都市東山区五条通東大路東入ル遊行前町５６０
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) Buddhist temple located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Its mountain name is Higashiyama, and the main enshrined image is Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha).
History
The temple is said to have been founded in 942 CE (Tenkyo 5) as Daiyama Shinyo Gokoku-in. It was later revived by the monk Renjaku Shonin during the Bunei era (1264–1275) and renamed Anshoin. After a period of decline and recovery that lasted until the Edo period, it was relocated to its current site in 1725 CE (Kyoho 10) by the monk Mokushoku Yo-a, who re-established it as a Jodo-shu temple.
