Muryokoji Temple

〒252-0336 神奈川県相模原市南区当麻578

4.2(107)

This temple is a former head temple of the Ji sect and is known as the Muryokoji temple of the Kin'ko-in monastery on Mount Taima, serving as a dojo for the Taima path.

History

The temple's origins are traditionally traced to a grass hut established by Ippen in 1261 CE (Kōchō 1). However, it is actually believed to have originated when Aja Shinkyo opened a nembutsu dojo in 1303 CE (Kagen 1). The temple declined temporarily following the fall of the Kamakura shogunate but regained prominence during the Sengoku period under the protection of the Hojo clan. In 1918 CE (Taisho 7), Yamazaki Ben'ei was appointed as the abbot and became the de facto founder of the temple's revival.

What visitors say

The quiet temple grounds are lush with trees and feature a pond where large koi fish swim. The approach path is paved with stone slabs, offering beautiful scenery with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn foliage in fall. While there is a parking lot and benches, there are no restrooms. Please be cautious, as some navigation systems may direct you to narrow side roads.
