Nembutsu-ji (Nembutsu-ji Temple)

神戸市北区有馬町1641

3.9(128)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple enshrining Jurojin, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Kobe. It is known for its main hall (hondo), the oldest structure in the Arima Onsen area, and the 'Shara Tree Garden,' a garden featuring a 270-year-old Shara tree (Sal tree).

History

Founded in 1532 CE (Koto 5) by the monk Gokyō. During the Keicho period of the Azuchi-Momoyama era, it was relocated to its current site, which is the former location of a villa belonging to Kitano-mandokoro (the legitimate wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi). In 1712 CE (Shōtoku 2), during the mid-Edo period, the main hall was constructed atop an old stone wall.
