Koyamaji - Okazaki

I have a taste.

There seems to be a benefit.

Although the priesthood is irregularly closed, I think that we will not feel sorry once we are visited, as there is a scribble and so on, and there is a scribbling.

Koyamaji is a temple of the Tendai sect and was built during the Warring States period as a guardian of Okazaki Castle Onimon. According to the temple biography, it is said that in 808, Saicho Saicho, a messenger master, built a temple in Anjo Village with the principal image of his own Yakushi Nyorai. Then, as time passed from 808, the Yakushido became a prayer temple for the Anjo Matsudaira family, and when Kiyoyasu Anjo Matsudaira 4th (Ieyasu's grandfather) moved to Okazaki Castle (Ryutoyama) in 1530, it became a demon guardian in 808. The Yakushido built by the missionary master Saisumi Shonin and the Rokubo (originating from the town name of Rokushocho) of (Toen, Taho, Gokuraku, Kissho, Hanazo) were relocated to this area, and in 1544 Matsudaira Hirotada (Ieyasu's father) ) Further moved Ieyasu Rokubo (Sadamitsu, Sugimoto, Misho, Naka, Migen, Daien) of Wadayama Hoseiji Temple, and Ichiyama became twelve. In fact, Ieyasu Tokugawa was born when this Hosei-ji Sadamitsubo Eikyu became a pioneer and prayed for the birth of Yakushi Nyorai at Horaiji Temple. In addition, during delivery, Horaiji was far inconvenient due to dystocia, and when Hirotada prayed to Yakushi Nyorai at this temple, he was born with ease. Due to this achievement, it became a prayer place for Matsudaira, built Gomadou, and moved Rokubo to become the main hall.

Yes. In 1603, the main hall of Ieyasu Tokugawa was rebuilt, and the remaining six bos were given 250 stones. From 1702-1703, Tsunayoshi Tokugawa further rebuilt the main hall (current main hall), and along with this, the twelve heavenly statues There is a donation of the Tenritsu statue. In this way, as a prayer temple for the Matsudaira and Tokugawa families, various protections and donations were made, and successive generations of the Okazaki feudal lord also paid the prayer fee and prospered as one of Mikawa's leading temples until the first year of the Meiji era. (The end temple of Kaneiji Temple in Kanto) However, in the Meiji Restoration, Shinbutsu bunri (and abolition of Buddha) was separated along with the abolition of the feudal clan, and the temple was known by the decree of the temple and shrine territory (the territory other than the temple precincts was confiscated). Gokurakuji) is only left. The older the temple, the more it was donated by the Tokugawa family and other daimyo families, and it was swallowed up by the rough seas of the turning point when temples in the ancient city of Nara and venerable temples nationwide lost the means to eat at once. It was. "Changki Mountain Koyamaji Temple" It is called Koyamaji Temple because it is located on Mt. Kabuto, but there is such a tradition in the origin of "Mt.

The stars flew three far away, shining long and shining down to the eastern mountain, and became three large rocks. .. (The place name of "Mitsuiwa" remains) In addition, after the eastern expedition, he buried his neck in the mountain where this star descended as promised in his dream, so he named it Mt. Kabuto, and after that, the Yawata Taro Yoshiie (Minamoto no Yoshiie) was also ordered to conquer Dongyi. After hearing about the venerable Mt. Kabuto, I turned the instep to this mountain and prayed for Nagaki Takeshi. Due to these factors, it was named Chokizan Koyamaji Temple. It's a pretty interesting story, isn't it?
