Getsusho-ji Temple
明石市人丸町１−２９ 月照寺
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, enshrining the Eleven-Faced Kannon as its main deity. It has a history of being relocated to its current site in connection with the construction of Akashi Castle.
History
The temple originated in 811 CE when Kukai founded Kohnanzan Yo-ugyou-ji Temple. In 887 CE, Kakusho established Hitomaru Shrine and changed the temple's name to Getsusho-ji. Initially a Shingon Buddhist temple, it converted to the Soto Zen school in 1575 and moved to its current location in 1619. During the Edo period, it existed as a unified shrine-temple complex (Jinguji) with Kakimoto Shrine, but was separated following the Meiji government's order to separate Shinto and Buddhism.
