Ikoma-san Hozen-ji (Ikoma Shoten)
〒630-0266 奈良県生駒市門前町１−１
This is the head temple of the Shingon Ritsu sect and is famous for its worship of Shoten (the Sanskrit name for the Buddha of the South, often associated with wealth and prosperity). Since ancient times, it has been deeply revered by merchants of Osaka as a deity of commerce, and it continues to attract many visitors today.
History
It is said that the monk En no Gyōja established this site as a place for Shugendō (mountain asceticism) during the reign of Empress Saimei, and that Kūkai also practiced here. In the sixth year of the Enpō era (1678 CE), the priest Sankai restored the temple, and a provisional main hall was built in the eighth year of Enpō (1680 CE). A new main hall was completed in the fifth year of the Jōkyō era (1688 CE), and the temple was renamed Hozen-ji.

What visitors say
Located on the mid-slopes of Mount Ikoma, the approach to the temple involves climbing the mountain, with many slopes and stairs. However, visitors can enjoy the surrounding scenery. The temple grounds are sloped, but the buildings are grand and exude a solemn atmosphere. Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) are handwritten and available. When visiting, it is advisable to check the availability of the cable car and parking facilities.
