Hontokuji
〒670-0973 兵庫県姫路市亀山３２４
A temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha sect, with the mountain name Ryugisan. The main hall is a rare gable-roofed structure (ayano-ma) relocated from the North Honganji's Northern Assembly Hall.
History
The temple was founded in 1535 CE (Eiroku 12) when Kuuen, a disciple of Rennyo, established the main hall at the foot of Eka Castle. During the siege of Eka Castle in 1580 CE (Tensho 8), it was relocated to Kameyama, donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to avoid the flames of war. It subsequently developed as the fundamental training ground for the Honganji-ha sect in Harima Province, and during the Edo period, it served as the Zokokurosho (General Record Office for the Western Region), overseeing many temples.
