Shoumeiji Temple (Shingon Buddhism, Koyasan Sect, Butoudzan)
加古川市加古川町本町３１３
A temple located on the site of the former Kakogawa Castle, traditionally said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku. The temple grounds feature a large ginkgo tree, and the main hall enshrines Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) as the principal deity.
History
Traditionally said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku, the temple was originally named Seikouji. During the Kamakura period, it became the family temple of the Kurauchi clan. After suffering from a major flood and fires caused by war, the current temple buildings were rebuilt in 1691 CE (Genroku 4). In 1593 CE (Keichou 8), it was renamed Shoumeiin by the monk Kankai of Koyasan Henjouin, but was later renamed Shoumeiji again.
