Junko-ji
郡上市八幡町柳町
A temple located in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, enshrining Bishamonten (the Buddhist deity of the north) as its principal image (honzon), and belonging to the Kurama Hongyo sect.
History
Originally established as a sub-temple of the Tiantai sect's Hakusan Chotaku-ji, the temple declined in 1330 CE (Gen'oku 2). It was revived during the Eiroku era (1558–1570 CE) by the monk Isei, and again in 1842 CE (Tenpō 13) by Ryoken. In 1932 CE (Shōwa 7), the temple was relocated to its current site at the ruins of Gunjo Hachiman Castle. In 1939 CE (Shōwa 14), an image of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) was invited, and the temple was renamed Junko-ji. In 1950 CE (Shōwa 25), a branch spirit (bunrei) of Bishamonten was received from Kurama-ji, the temple converted to the Kurama Hongyo sect, and became a branch temple (betsuin) of Kurama-ji.
