The head temple of the Jyokoji branch of Jodo Shinshu, located in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. Its formal temple name is Jodo Shinshu Kogyoji.

History

Founded by Shinran, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, it was originally located in Ibaraki Prefecture. Due to repeated fires and warfare, it relocated to various places. In 1567 CE (Eiroku 10), it moved to its current location in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, at the invitation of Uesugi Kenshin, and became the head temple of the Jyokoji branch. After a period of conflict with the Eastern Honganji, it achieved reconciliation and recovery through the mediation of the lord of Takada Domain.
