    Along with the principal image, the letter is an important cultural property.

    Original Text

    I was told at "Alley Wandering Naramachi / Kitamachi" [February 2024]. The priest was very enthusiastic about explaining the temple. Gen 々 This temple was called Okunobo or Okunoin of Genkoji Temple. In 1962, a letter from Honen Shonin (Genzo) was first found from the womb of the statue of Amida Nyorai enshrined in the main hall, and the letter along with the principal image is an important cultural property.

    It's a little plain.

    It is located in an area where temples from the east of Naramachi area gather. It is very close to Jurinin. As soon as you enter from the mountain gate, it is a graveyard, and it feels more like a place for local Danya than a tourist spot. It seems that there is a statue of Amida Nyorai in the main hall, but it seems that there is a contact.

    Here is a historical material written by Gensora himself, and this letter is an important historical material for knowing the history of Jodoism in the early Kamakura period. The temple has a normal feeling and feels soft for a temple in the Kamakura period.

    From the gate to the main hall, the grave is always

    Original Text

    There is an entrance next to Jurinji Temple, from there to the precincts. There is a grave from the mountain gate to the main hall. Tombstones are lined up along the wall without gaps, and this is the only scenery, but I think this also carves the history of the ancient capital Nara.

    Original Text

    It is a temple of the Jodo sect located next to Jurinji Temple. Gen 々 belongs to the temple of Genkoji Temple. It is said that it was founded by a honorary shonin during the Tensho era. You can worship freely in the precincts. In addition, a statue of Amida Nyorai made by Kaikei is enshrined in the main hall, but it seems that you can worship if you apply to the back of the warehouse. It feels like an open and locally loved temple.
