Seikoji Temple
長野市大字南長野北石堂町１３９８
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple known for its connection to the Kariyuka legend, where illustrated explanations (ekaki) are performed. The temple grounds feature stone monuments bearing haiku by Matsuo Basho and Kobayashi Issa, as well as the site of Japan's first petroleum refinery.
History
Founded in 1199 CE (Shozi 1) when Kariyuka Doshin built a thatched hut on this site under the guidance of the Shinkoji Buddha. In 1376 CE (Eiyo 2), the monk Gakuen Shonin constructed the main hall and restored the temple. Through subsequent periods of public unveiling and donations, it has taken its current form. The temple is also known as a place where Shinran Shonin (the founder of Jodo-shin-shu) stayed.
