Kouryuuji
京都市右京区太秦蜂岡町３２
A central temple of Prince Shotoku faith, housing the National Treasure Miroku Bosatsu Hanja (half-lotus seated) statue. It is known as the oldest temple in Kyoto Prefecture.
History
Originally the clan temple of the Hatada clan, it is the oldest temple in Kyoto Prefecture, existing prior to the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo. It is said to have been founded by Hatada Kawakatsu in 603 CE (Suiko 11) or 622 CE (Suiko 30) to enshrine a Buddha statue donated by Prince Shotoku. A prominent theory suggests it was moved to its current location during the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo.
