岡崎市滝町山籠107

4.3(218)

A Tendai sect temple located in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Its mountain name is Kichijō Darani-yama and its temple name is Yakujū-ō-in. It is well known for the Takizanji Onimatsuri (Demon Festival).

History

Founded during the Nara period, the temple was established as Kichijō-ji to enshrine a golden statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) that was found in the Aoki River by En no Gyoja on the orders of Emperor Tenmu. In the 12th century, it was re-established by the Tendai priest Busen Jōjū. It subsequently developed under the patronage of the Fujiwara Minabe clan, who served as the Grand Priests of Atsuta Grand Shrine, the Ashikaga clan, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
