Ryuouzan Chuuzenji Temple

上田市前山1721

4.0(150)

A temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture. Its mountain name is Ryuouzan and its temple name is Enmei-in. It houses the Yakushi-do Hall, an Important Cultural Property, and a wooden statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha) in a seated position.

History

According to tradition, Kukai established a thatched hut here during the Tenchou era (824-834 CE) to perform rain-making rituals. The temple flourished under the patronage of figures such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and the Shioda Hojo clan, but lost its various halls to repeated fires. In 1734 CE (Kyoho 19), the priest Yusei Ho-in revived the temple and constructed the current main hall.
