4.0(696)

Omi-do-ji Temple, also known as the Muryouju-in of Tsururin-san, is a temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Nozawa, Mihama Town, the final resting place of Minamoto no Yoshitomo. It is the 50th station of the Chita Shikoku Pilgrimage, and the temple grounds feature Yoshitomo's grave and an offering of a wooden sword.

History

It is said that the temple was founded by En no Gyokaku during the reign of Emperor Tenmu and revived by Kibi no Makibi during the reign of Emperor Shomu. During the Joroku era, it became an imperial temple by decree of Emperor Shirakawa and was named Omi-do-ji. Minamoto no Yoritomo renovated the temple complex to enshrine the grave of his father, Yoshitomo, and installed a statue of Jizo Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva of Compassion).
