Mokoji Temple
八代市本町３丁目３−２８
A temple of the Jodo-shu (Pure Land) sect located in Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture. It houses a wooden seated statue of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), designated as a cultural property by the prefecture, which was created during the transitional period between the Heian and Kamakura eras.
History
The temple originated as Seikoji, established in Nakatsu, Toyosato (now Kitakyushu) by Hosokawa Sansai. It was relocated to Yatsushiro following the transfer of the Hosokawa clan's domain, after which its name was changed to Mokoji.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature a Jizo-do (hall dedicated to Jizo Bosatsu), attracting devotees seeking protection against childhood ailments known as 'kan no mushi' (intestinal worms). As the premises also serve as the residence of the abbot, visitors are expected to maintain quietness and show proper etiquette. Other points of interest include historical sites such as a gorintō (five-storied stone pagoda) said to be the grave of a renowned swordsman.
