Jodo Sect Seiganji Temple
〒320-0811 栃木県宇都宮市大通り５丁目３−１４
A Jodo Sect temple located in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, with the mountain name Hongozan. It is known for the survival of an Important Cultural Property, an iron stuppa.
History
The temple was originally established in the early Kamakura period by the Utsunomiya clan. During the Sengoku period, the Hoga clan of the Kiyohara surname relocated the temple to its current site and established its current temple name, mountain name, and court name. Its origins lie in Utsunomiya Yoritsuna's devotion to the Nembutsu path, and it was moved to its present location to mourn the soul of Hoga Takamitsu.
