Houkaidera Ishidan (Houkaidera Stone Steps)
新城市門谷上浦
A temple of the Shingon Gochi Kadan sect located on Mount Houkaidera in Fuchū City, Aichi Prefecture. It is known for the 1,425 stone steps on the approach path, which were built by Tokugawa Iemitsu.
History
It is said that the temple was founded by the hermit Rishu in 701 CE (Daihō 1). The temple and mountain names are derived from a legend that Emperor Monbu prayed for recovery from illness. The temple was revived by Minamoto no Yoritomo during the Kamakura period and flourished under the patronage of Tokugawa Iemitsu during the Edo period. During Iemitsu's reign, large-scale reconstruction of the temple complex was carried out, including the construction of a new Tōshō-gū (Shinto shrine dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu).
