Jōzen-ji
上越市駒林９７０−１
A Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji-ha (True Pure Land School, Hongwanji branch) temple located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. Its main hall, which is said to be the first of its kind in Japan, features an Indian pagoda-style architecture and is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
History
The temple was established during the Muromachi period. During the Edo period, it functioned as a branch office of the Hongwanji head temple and served as the residence of the head priest (On-rusuiyaku) until the Meiji era. After a major fire destroyed the original structures, the current main hall was built in 1928 CE (Shōwa 3) as a reinforced concrete structure in the Indian pagoda style. Within the temple grounds, there is a historic site (On-kurashito) where the founder Shinran is said to have stayed during a journey.
