Houunzan Myoujouin Raishinji

大野町稲富397−1

4.0(68)

A temple of the Chisan school of Shingon Buddhism and the second station of the West Mino 33 Pilgrimage. It houses the National Treasure, the Five Great Kings statues painted on silk.

History

According to tradition, the temple was founded in 715 CE by the monk Giki as a Hosso school temple named Shinfukuji. Later, a phenomenon of yellow snow falling on the mountain behind the temple led to it being called "Koukou" (Yellow Descent), which was eventually written with the characters "Raishin" (Coming Vibration). The temple was burned down in 1560 by the attacks of Oda Nobunaga but was rebuilt with the support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
