京都市東山区小松町146

4.3(599)

Known as a tower temple (tato) of Kennin-ji, this temple enshrines the Sacred Kannon Bodhisattva as its principal image and is famous for housing the secret Buddha, Marishiten (Marichi, the goddess of protection and luck).

History

Founded during the Genkō era (1331–1334) by Onishi Sadamune as a tower temple of Kennin-ji for Seisaku Shōjō, the abbot of Nanzen-ji. It was destroyed by fire during the Tenshō era (1532–1555) but was rebuilt in the 16th year of Tenshō (1547) by Oda Nobuhide. Extensive maintenance and renovations were carried out during the Edo period, with further repairs conducted in the Meiji era.
