Sekkan Kongoji (Myoyu-ji Soshu-ji)

関市西日吉町35

4.2(839)

A Tenda sect temple featuring a Great Buddha Hall that houses a seated statue of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) transmitted from Chusonji. It is the only temple in Japan with a mandala hall (kaidan) shaped like the manji symbol.

History

Founded in 1753 by Hirose Shintaro, the village headman of Seki-mura in Mino Province. In 1798, Tōjun, the chief priest of the main Kongoji shrine, conducted the opening ceremony for Shinshu Kongoji at Soshu-ji. Due to this connection, a statue of Kongoji Nyorai received from Prince Kotochi was enshrined, and a main hall and mandala hall modeled after Kongoji were constructed.
