Ryuge-ji Temple
横浜市金沢区洲崎町９−３１
A quasi-special grade head temple of the Myoshin-ji branch of Shingon Buddhism, enshrining the principal image of Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana). It is historically known as a powerful temple institution.
History
Founded in 1499 by the monk Yūben, who merged the dilapidated Rokuhara Jōgan-ji and Kanazawa Kōtoku-ji temples. During the Kamakura period, it held a high temple rank as a powerful institution and had connections with the Ashikaga clan and Tokugawa Ieyasu. In the Edo period, it was also referred to as Ryūgen-ji, but it reverted to its current name, Ryūge-ji, during the Meiji era.
