Kunyoji (Kunyo-ji Temple)

伊丹市寺本2丁目169

4.0(126)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, Kunyo-ji bears the mountain name Kunlun. It is one of the 49 temples founded by the monk Gyoji in the Kinki region and is locally known as "Koyadera" or "Gyoji-san."

History

The temple's origins trace back to 731 CE (Tenpyo 3), when Gyoji founded Kunyo Jiin (Kunyo Charity Hall) to aid the poor. In 733 CE (Tenpyo 5), it was designated an imperial temple by Emperor Shomu, leading to the development of the surrounding area. During the Edo period, the temple had nine sub-temples (tozu). It was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Arioka Castle but was later rebuilt.
