Seihō-ji Temple

亀山市中庄町804

A Shingon Buddhism temple of the Goshu sect located in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture, long revered as 'Seki no Jizō' (the Jizo of Seki). The main hall, Aizen Hall, and bell tower are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.

History

Tradition holds that it was founded in 741 CE (Tenpyō 13) by the monk Kūkai. In 1697 CE (Genroku 10), a special opening of the temple (Kaijō) was conducted by the high priest Sen'ga, during which Tokugawa Tsunayoshi and Katsura Shōin visited. During the Meiji era, the temple served as the imperial residence (gyōzaisho) when Emperor Meiji traveled to the area.
