Bantei-san Eiji-ji
磐梯町磐梯本寺上４９５０
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Bandai Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Its structures dating back to the early Heian period are designated as a National Historic Site under the name 'Eiji-ji Ruins.' It is also recognized as a component cultural asset of the Japan Heritage program, featuring reconstructed buildings such as the Golden Hall (Kondo) and the Medicine Hall (Yakushi-do).
History
Founded in 807 CE (early Heian period) by Tokuitsu, a monk of the Hosso school. The temple was once abandoned during the Meiji-era Haibutsu Kishaku (destruction of Buddhism) movement but was restored in 1904, adopting its current name. It once held significant influence in the Aizu region, with legends linking it to the Taira clan and the ordination of the third daughter of Taira no Masakado.
