æ æšåžäžçºïŒïŒâïŒ
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture. During the Edo period, it served as a lodging facility for the Tochigi-juku (post station). The temple grounds feature the grave of the writer Yamamoto Yuuzan and a wooden statue of Vajrapani (Kongo Rikishi), designated as a cultural property by Tochigi City.
History
This Jodo-shu temple was founded in 1421 by the monk Ryoukai. It was originally located in Sukawara and named Shounenji. In 1588, it was relocated to its current site due to the construction of Tochigi Castle. During the Edo period, it operated as a substitute for the Wakabangin (secondary post station) of the Tochigi-juku, providing lodging services.
