Hoshu-ji

豊中市熊野町3丁目10−1

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) Buddhist temple located in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It is nationally rare for a temple to remain on the grounds of a shrine, and Hoshu-ji is a well-preserved example of this unique Shinto-Buddhist syncretic layout.

History

It is said to have been founded by the monk Butsu-gen during the Chotoku period (995-998 CE). The origin is attributed to Emperor Kazan, who, while visiting sacred sites dedicated to Kannon (Avalokiteshvara), enshrined Kumano Gongen (the Kumano deity) at this location because its terrain resembled Kumano in Kii Province, and established a place of worship for both Shinto and Buddhist deities. It was formerly a Shingon-shu temple but is now a Jodo-shu temple.
