Koshinji Temple is a memorial temple founded by Koshin, the originator of the Shomyo Nembutsu (recitation of the Buddha's name) practice, and serves as a site preserving the legacy of the novice monk Koshin. It is the 8th station of the Harima Yakushi Reijo (Harima Medicine Buddha Pilgrimage) and houses cultural properties designated by the City of Kakogawa.

History

The temple was founded by Koshin, the originator of the Shomyo Nembutsu practice. During the Muromachi period, it developed into a large temple complex, but it was completely destroyed by fire during the Sengoku period. It was rebuilt in its current form in 1642. In the early Meiji period, the temple converted to the Tendai sect and now serves as the 8th station of the Harima Yakushi Reijo pilgrimage.
