Josenji - Okazaki

It is a small temple in the area.

It was built as a Tendai temple in 1320 or 1351 in the temple. It is written that it was during Hironobu that he met Rennyo Shonin and changed to Shinshu. At the time of Mikawa Ikko-ikki, at Jyosenji, which was in a corner of Doro Gobo but escaped from burning, "Rennyo Jojin's self-portrait Mikage", "Rennyo Jojin Mikawa Eden", and "Kamimi no" There are many cultural assets such as "Ikko-ikki" and "Bone transfer letter". It is said that you can see these treasures at the Toro Rennyo Festival every year. The Toro Rennyo Festival is held on Saturday and Sunday before April 25, and is also called "Toro Rennyo-san". Toro-Hondori became a pedestrian paradise, stalls lined up, mountain cars paraded around, Yosakoi did, Fukuoka Elementary School Music Club became a drum and fife corps, and some 6th grade children crossed the street as a traffic safety corps. It is very exciting to have a traffic safety parade with the drum and fife corps. According to the town system enforcement record, in Toro, where the Rennyo Festival and Toro Sanpachi City were held, many people gathered and it was lively, so Hyakufuku (various fortunes) It was prosperous as a place where people gathered Since the hill (oka) extending from the foot of Kyogamine in Kota-cho, Nukata-gun ended near the center of the town, the characters "fortune" and "oka" of Hyakufuku were combined to form "Fukuoka". It is said that it became. The hills extending from the foot of Kyogamine are presumed to be "Goboyama", "Midoyama", "Kohatayama", and "Mukoyama" in Fukuoka Town. I think it's a temple that continues to convey the historical sites and history of Toro in such Fukuoka town.
