Shinkoji Temple

神戸市兵庫区松原通1丁目1−62

4.3(79)

A Jodo Shinshu (Jishu) temple located in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, also known as Fukuju, one of the Hyogo Seven Lucky Gods.

History

The temple's origins are said to date back to the reign of Emperor Ninmyo, when the monk Eikaku brought back and enshrined a statue of Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) from Tang China. In 1276 CE (Kenji 2), the monk Ippen resided in the Kannon Hall and became the founding patriarch of the temple's revival. Later, the monk Daigo of the second generation of the Yogo lineage bestowed the name Shinkoji upon the temple, establishing it as a Jishu temple.
