Kotokuji Temple

大阪市天王寺区餌差町2−17

4.3(155)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City. Its mountain name is Ryuhozan. The principal image is Yakushi Ruri-kou Nyorai (Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light).

History

Founded during the lifetime of Prince Shotoku as Yakushiin (Medicine Hall), it was revived by the monk Giki during the Tenpyo period (729-749 CE). Ancient records were lost due to repeated wars and fires. The main hall and storehouses were destroyed in fires in 1915 and 1945, but the main hall was rebuilt in 1952.
