Hiraiyama Reizanji (Hiraiyama Reizanji Temple)

〒870-1131 大分県大分市岡川蕨野855

4.3(114)

A Tendai sect temple located in Okawa, Oita City, recognized as one of the three great temples of the Bungo region. It is known for the autumn foliage around the mountain gate and the panoramic night views of Oita City visible from the temple grounds.

History

The temple's origin dates to 708 CE, when a local chieftain discovered an image of Eleven-Faced Kannon (Eleven-Faced Guanyin) at the foot of the mountain and enshrined it in a thatched hut. Subsequently, the monk Nagahō constructed the temple complex (garan). Following a revisit by Saichō, the temple became a Tendai sect establishment. In 1623 CE, Matsudaira Tadanao rebuilt the main hall, mountain gate, and bell tower.

The mountain path is narrow, so caution is required when passing other vehicles, though cars can access the area nearby. The temple grounds are beautiful during the fresh green and autumn foliage seasons, and handrails are installed on the stairs. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) are available at the front of the storehouse (kuri). The surrounding area also features a spot where visitors can ring a bell and a viewpoint offering a panoramic view of Oita City.
