Mankou-ji Temple

広島市中区東白島町19−1 萬行寺

4.3(14)

A temple of the Otani-ha branch of True Pure Land Buddhism located in Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, bearing the mountain name Shoukousan.

History

The temple was founded by Mankou, a retainer of the Mori clan who held the title of Tsuboi Genbuto. He visited the Honganji temple to meet with the high priest Rennyo as an envoy of the Mori clan and received temple lands from Mori Terumoto. When the Mori clan relocated their domain to Buzen and Chikuzen provinces in 1600 (Keicho 5), his second son, Gantoku, remained at the site to maintain the lineage. Later, after the Asano clan took control of the region, the mountain name was officially designated as Shoukousan, and the temple name was changed from Mankou-ji to Mankou-ji.
