Tokuin-in

佐賀市嘉瀬町中原 有重 140

3.3(6)

A temple of the Myoshin-ha branch of the Shingon school, with the mountain name Hozoku-zan (Precious Tree Mountain). It is known as a major temple of the Hiko-yama school, which received protection from the Saga Domain.

History

It was founded during the Oei period (1394-1428) by Nakaoka Tsunena (Dōju), the grandfather of Nabeshima Kiyonaga, who invited the monk Kōjun as the founding monk. Later, Kiyonaga developed a devotion to the Gongen (manifested deity) and invited a branch spirit (bunrei) to be enshrined there; he also relocated the main gate of the residence, leading to the temple being known as Tokuin-in Gongen. As a major temple of the Hiko-yama school under the protection of the domain, it received donations and construction efforts from figures such as Nabeshima Katsuhiro.
