Renzouji Temple
奈良市西紀寺町４５
A Jodo Shinshu Ikkon-in-ha sect temple located in Nishi-Kiji-cho, Nara City. The main hall houses a white, nude standing statue of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) from the Kamakura period.
History
It is said to have been founded by the monk Gyoji by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu during the Tenpyo era. It was later rebuilt and revived in the Heian period by Ki Yunezane, who established the temple complex. During the Edo period, it received a land grant (shuinchi) from Tokugawa Ieyasu and operated as a temple estate. It currently belongs to the Jodo Shinshu Ikkon-in-ha sect.
