Nagasakiyama Kiyomizu-ji (Shingon Sect)

長崎市鍛冶屋町8−43

4.3(196)

Nagasakiyama Kiyomizu-ji is a temple of the Shingon Reiganji-ha sect, enshrining Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara) as its principal deity. It features a main hall designated as an Important Cultural Property that incorporates Chinese-style design elements, making it the oldest surviving main hall of an esoteric Buddhist temple remaining in Nagasaki Prefecture.

History

The temple was founded in 1623 CE (Genroku 9) by Keishun, a monk from Kyoto's Kiyomizu-dera. The current main hall was donated and constructed in 1668 CE (Kanbun 8) by the Tang merchant He Gaozai and his sons. It was designated as a National Important Cultural Property in 2010.

What visitors say

The temple grounds offer a panoramic view of Nagasaki City and are characterized by their sunny location. The main hall, designated as an Important Cultural Property, showcases a unique architectural style found only in Nagasaki, incorporating Chinese styles of that era. While Goshuin (shrine seals) are typically pre-written, direct writing onto a Nokyaku-jiku (pilgrimage scroll) can be arranged upon request.
