Shinnyo-ji (Shinsho-ji-ha, Shingon Buddhism)
京都市上京区七番町３２３−１
A temple of the Shinsō-ji branch of Shingon Buddhism, its main deity is Medicine Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), also known as Mine Yakushi (Peak Medicine Buddha). It is also known by the nickname Hyōtan-ji (Gourd Temple) due to the faith of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
History
Founded by Kūkai in Kawai Province, the temple later declined. It was rebuilt in Kyoto by the monk Jōkai during the Shōka period (1257–1259 CE). After several relocations, it moved to its current location in 1709 CE (Hōei 5). It was designated as an imperial temple by Emperor Go-Yōzei and Emperor Go-Sai, and Emperor Go-Sai bestowed a cherry tree cutting upon it.
