笠松町

4.0(7)

A Jōdo Shinshū Ōtani-ha (True Pure Land Buddhism, Ōtani School) temple located in Kasamatsu Town, Gifu Prefecture. Its mountain name is Jōgyōzan. The temple has a deep historical connection to the Mino provincial governor and enshrines Amida Nyorai (Amitābha Buddha) as its principal image.

History

Founded in 1528 CE (Jōroku 1) as Senkeibō, it later became a branch temple of Manfukuji under the name Hōmeibō. After being displaced by a flood in 1595 CE (Bunroku 4), it was re-established at its current location in 1616 CE (Gen'ō 2) and renamed Hōdenji in 1677 CE (Enpō 5). The temple suffered damage in the 1891 CE (Meiji 24) Nōbi earthquake but was rebuilt in 1898 CE (Meiji 31).
