〒710-0007 岡山県倉敷市浅原１５７３
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, enshrining Fudō Myō-ō (the Immovable Wisdom King) as its principal deity. The grounds feature a Tōbō (pagoda), a Rakan-dō (Hall of Arhats), and a standing statue of Fudō Myō-ō designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
Founded in 782 CE (Enryaku 1) during the Nara period by the monk Dōen Daishi as a Shingon temple. During the 13th century, temples lined the Asahara valley, and prior to 1717 CE (Kyōhō 2), the temple was located further south than its current site. The Genpei Sōki (Chronicle of the Rise and Fall of the Genji and Heike Clans) records that Fujiwara no Naruchika took monastic vows and received precepts at this temple in 1177 CE (Jōji 1).
