    It was a pretty famous temple in the local area.

    It is a re-worship. It is a venerable temple that is said to have been built on the site of the birthplace of Honen Shonin, the founder of the Jodo sect. The huge ginkgo tree in the precincts is estimated to be 850 years old. You can see it here for free.

    It is a temple built in the place where Honen Shonin, the founder of the Jodo sect, was born. Naomi Kumagai, a disciple of Honen, who is famous for the Genpei War, built a temple in the place where Honen was born. The Mikagedo and Sanmon of the main hall, which were rebuilt in the Edo period, are important cultural properties and are very magnificent temples. It is the first temple of the 25th Hoen Shonin Sacred Site.

    It is a temple built on the site of the mansion where Honen Shonin was born.

    Original Text

    It is a temple built by Naomi Kumagai, the hero of the Genpei Battle, on the site of the master Honen Shonin's mansion. There is only the site of the mansion, and there is also a mausoleum of Honen Shonin's parents in the precincts. It's a sacred place for the Jodo sect. It's a 10-minute walk from JR Soshiji Station, and there are signs, so I think it's easy to get there. As an aside, looking at the streams flowing through the precincts and the natural scenery surrounding Seshido, I think that the time of autumn leaves looks very wonderful. It's a good temple.

    After its founding, it was a relatively new temple for a shrine and temple of about 825 years.

    Original Text

    Yu 1000 Compared to my hometown, Kyoto, where there are many shrines and temples that boast auspiciousness over the years, it was a temple that was not so old. However, the old mountain gate and the rebuilt main hall were magnificent Dou, which was designated as an important cultural property. This is said to be the birthplace of Honen Shonin. It was a top-class temple in the district (Mimasaka), a Jodo sect temple. The original meaning of the benefit is not good enough, and I don't understand it because I lack study. Unfortunately, the guest hall, Hojo Garden, Nikko ... can only be seen at a fee.

    It seems that the land where honen shonin, the founder of the jodo sect, was born.

    I found a guide sign on the way from Tsuyama to Okayama Airport. It's a very nice building, and I thought that it was a temple built since the birth of the founder.
