Honkakuji Temple
永平寺町東古市２２−１４５
A Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha temple located in Eiheiji-cho, Fukui Prefecture, with the mountain name Wada-yama. The principal image (honzon) is Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha).
History
The temple was founded by Wada no Shinsei, a disciple of Shinran. It was originally called the Wada Dojo (Wada Practice Hall). In 1310 CE (Ocho 1), it affiliated with Hongwanji, and during the era of Sonnyo, the temple name Honkakuji was officially adopted. In 1516 CE (Eiho 3), the temple suffered a defeat by the Asakura clan and fled to Kaga Province, but in 1567 CE (Eiroku 10), its return to Echizen Province was permitted.
