Shorenji Temple
高山市堀端町８
Shorenji is a Jodo Shinshu (Honganji-ha) temple located in Horibanacho, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. It is commonly known as "Nakano Shorenji." Its main hall (hondo), designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, is the oldest surviving example of the architectural style unique to Jodo Shinshu main halls.
History
In 1253, Kaininbo Zenshun established Shorenji, which became the base for Jodo Shinshu in the old province of Hida. In 1504, it was restored in Nakano by Myoshin and renamed "Koyo-zan Shorenji." In 1588, the temple was relocated to the castle town of Takayama. In 1961, due to the flooding caused by the construction of a dam, it was moved to its current location in Horibanacho. Around the beginning of the Meiji era, it officially adopted the name "Shorenji."

What visitors say
Located on the site of the second enclosure (Ninomaru) of Takayama Castle, the temple is adjacent to Toyokawa-jinyama Inari Shrine. While it is a historic building with a distinct atmosphere, it is currently closed to visitors for the main hall and does not offer Goshuin (shrine/temple calligraphic seal stamps). Visitors can enjoy a quiet stroll through the temple grounds.
