Amida-ji
和歌山市加太５０２
A Shingon Buddhism temple of the Gosho-ha sect located on the mid-slopes of Myoho-zan, a corner of Nachi-san. It is known as a temple for Nembutsu (recitation of the Buddha's name) and the division of cremated remains and hair. It possesses historical and folkloric relics such as the traces of Ka-se Sanmai (a fire-based meditation practice) and the 'One Bell for the Dead.'
History
It is said to have been founded during the Nara period by a holder of the Lotus Sutra. It was revived during the Kamakura period by the Dharma Master Kakushin, establishing it as a mountain for Nembutsu and the interment of bones. In the Meiji period, it converted to a Shingon temple. Following a fire in 1981, the main hall and principal image were rebuilt in 1984. In 2014, it transferred from the Shingon Buddhism of Mount Koya to the Shingon Buddhism of the Gosho-ha sect.
