4.4(3121)

A temple centered around a National Treasure five-story pagoda, preserving Ouchi culture. The grounds are known as Koyama Park and are famous as a spot for cherry blossoms and plum blossoms.

History

During the Muromachi period, Ouchi Yoshihiro established Kojuji Temple. His younger brother, Morimi, began construction of the five-story pagoda to mourn his brother, completing it around 1442 CE (Kakitsu 2). Later, because Mori Terumoto moved Kojuji Temple to Hagi, Nippo Ruriko-ji was relocated to its current site in 1690 CE (Genroku 3). Today, it is known as a temple that conveys Ouchi culture.
