A Jodo Shinshu Otani-ha (True Pure Land) Buddhist temple located in Gunjo-Hachiman, also known as Gunjo Gobo (the Grand Temple of Gunjo). It features the largest main hall in Gifu Prefecture and houses a large collection of cultural properties.

History

Founded in the Omi Province by Takashige, the third son of Sasaki Takatsume, who took the dharma name Shinshin and established the temple as Anyo-ji. It was later relocated to the Mino Province and renamed Anyo-ji by Rennyo. During the Sengoku (Warring States) period, the temple repelled an invasion by the Asakura clan and participated in the Battle of Ishiyama. In the Meiji era, it was moved to its current location on the site of the third bailey (san-no-maru) of Hachiman Castle, and was rebuilt in 1936.
