Shinkoji Temple

山武市松尾町借毛本郷1238−1

A Tendai sect temple located in Sanmu City, Chiba Prefecture, with Jizo Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its principal image. It houses the "Six Kannon and Six Jizo," a designated tangible cultural property of Sanmu City.

History

The temple's origins are said to date back to 789 CE (Enryaku 8), when Ki Kozami established a hall after obtaining military provisions. It was formally founded as Henjo-zan Shinkoji (Shinkoji Temple on Mount Henjo) by the monk Henjo during the Ninna period (885-888 CE). It was once counted as one of the four great Tendai temples of the Kozuke region. The temple was relocated to its current site at the end of the Kamakura period and was revived during the Shoto period (1711-1716 CE).
