Hokoji Temple
あま市花正郷中66
A temple of the Otani-ha school of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism located in Hanamasa-go, Naka, Ama City, Aichi Prefecture. Its mountain name is Kuri-en-zan, and its principal image is a wooden standing statue of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha).
History
The year of founding is unknown, but according to the Owari Junko-ki (a record of a journey through Owari Province), it is said that a monk named Zenyo came from Aki Province during the Tenbun era (1532–1554 CE) and revived the temple. Old records were lost in a fire in 1644 CE (Shoho 1), so details remain unclear. In 1968, a document titled the Setsushi Danmon-ki was discovered in the attic, revealing local legends related to Kakure Kirishitan (hidden Christians).
