Kozuke Kokubunji (Kozuke Kokubunji Temple)

市川市国分3丁目20−1

4.0(102)

A temple of the Shingon Toyosan school, with the mountain name Kokubunzan. It has long been a cultural center, alongside the historical sites of the original Kozuke Kokubunji and Kozuke Kokubunni-ji (the nunnery associated with the original temple).

History

This temple is the successor to Kozuke Kokubunji, one of the provincial temples established by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu during the Nara period. It was once known as Konko Myoji (Temple of the Golden Light Sutra). Detailed records were lost due to battles and fires during the Sengoku period, but historical documents referring to the temple's land holdings remain from the Kenkyu, Kangan, and Bun'ei eras.

What visitors say

Located at the top of a narrow, sloping path, this is a well-maintained and quiet temple. The grounds are not particularly large, but they feature a vermilion mountain gate and are situated close to the site of the original Kokubunji. The surrounding area has a complex network of small paths, so caution is required when accessing by car.
