Hojou-an
島本町桜井３丁目１１−４
A temple affiliated with the Daitoku-ji branch of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, enshrining Kannon Bosatsu (Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its principal image. The grounds include the main hall, the kitchen and administrative quarters (kuri), a gate, as well as a Jizo Hall, a Dikuten Hall, and a Yakushi Hall.
History
Originally a lodging facility for the Tendai sect's Ohto-ji temple, it was destroyed by fire during the wars of the Tenmon era. In the Genki era, a practitioner who returned to the Myoraku Zen sect to study established a hermitage and named it Hojou-an. Later, in the Kan'ei era, a figure named Eishitsu revived the temple and designated Daichetsu Myo-o Zenji as its founding patriarch.
