Ryufukuji Temple

〒753-0093 山口県山口市大殿大路119

4.2(208)

A Soto sect temple located in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, situated on the site of the former Ouchi clan residence. It houses the important cultural property Shaka-do (Main Hall) and a portrait of Ouchi Yoshitaka.

History

The temple's origins trace back to Zuunji Temple, founded by Ouchi Mitsumori during the Ken'ei era (1206–1207 CE). In 1454 CE (Kotoku 3), Ouchi Masahiro refounded and revived the temple, converting it to the Soto sect. In 1557 CE (Kochi 3), it was relocated to its current site (the former Ouchi clan residence) under the patronage of Mori Takamoto and restored as the memorial temple for Ouchi Yoshitaka, who took his own life.
