Kongo Sammai-in
高野町高野山４２５
A temple that serves as a special head temple (betsugaku honzan) of the Koyasan Shingon sect and also offers lodging (shukubo). It enshrines Aizen Myo-o as its principal deity and features the Taho-to (Manyo Pagoda), a National Treasure.
History
Founded in 1211 CE (Kenryaku 1) at the request of Hojo Masako to pray for the soul of Minamoto no Yoritomo, it was initially established as Zenjo-in. It was later renamed Kongo Sammai-in to pray for the soul of Minamoto no Sanetomo. Revered as the memorial temple for the shogunal family of the Kamakura Shogunate, structures such as the Dainichi-do (Hall of Mahavairocana) and the Taho-to were built. Subsequently, when the Zen sect division was relocated to Seihou-ji, the temple became an esoteric Buddhist temple. After its revival by Jiyu, it also began to emphasize the Ritsu sect (Vinaya school).
