Genyō-ji
丸亀市南条町３４
A Zen Buddhist temple of the Rinzai sect, Myōshin-ji branch, serving as the ancestral temple for the Kyōgoku clan, the former lords of Marugame.
History
Originally established in Tatsuno City, Hyōgo Prefecture, as the ancestral temple for the Kyōgoku family, lords of Onomichi, it was relocated to its current site in 1658 CE (Manji 1) when the clan was transferred to govern Marugame. The temple's name derives from the posthumous religious name of Kyōgoku Tada Takahiro, 'Genyō-in-dō,' while its mountain name comes from the posthumous religious name of Kyōgoku Takatsugu, 'Taiun-in-dō.' The grounds contain the grave of Kyōgoku Takahiro, the sixth lord of Marugame, among other features.
