Kozenji - Nara

I went to see off my aunt It ’s a very nice temple.

It looks like a casual Dankeji temple, but it was the inner temple of Gangoji Temple.

It is a temple where the reception is kind and indebted. I heard that the chief priest is a teacher at Chion-in.

I have been doing yoga at this temple. It will teach you how to use clean. The incense smell has a sweet smell like vanilla. We are well kept.

Kozenji is a western temple of the Jodo sect, located in Towain Hata Town, Nara City, Nara Prefecture. The mountain number is Mt. Falun The details of its construction are unknown, but it is said that it was "Okunoin, Okunobo" of Gango-ji in old days, and it is said that it was a child-institution of Genko-ji. In the Tensho era, Keiho Osho built a temple, founded it, and belonged to Chion-in. On March 9, 16th year of Keicho (1603), a letter of pardon for Jiko Uchizenji was issued. Important cultural property Volume 2 of self-written information such as source air, proof air, etc. (Appendix: Wooden Amida Nyorai standing statue, 1 lacquered tubular ossuary) In 1962 (Showa 37), it was discovered that the original writings of Genku and Shiku were written in the statue of the wooden Amida Nyorai standing statue. The name of the marriage was written on the back of the paper, and a lacquered tubular ossuary device was also taken out, and all of them, including Honson, were designated as important cultural properties. It was a very important discovery because the letter of Genku was said to be inexhaustible, and the true writings of Shiku and others were extremely rare. Ink marks are slightly seen on the inside and outside of the right foot of the main shrine, which is considered to be part of the original name. It is inscribed in the postscript that this Amida statue was originally located in Tahara, Higashiyama Uchidawara (in the vicinity of Tonebe, Nara City), inside and outside the left foot. The era can be read as "◻︎ April 17th ◻︎ day", and it is thought that it was written when leaving the local area, but it is not clear whether it is Eisho 17 (1520) or Tensho 17 (1589).

It is a quiet and calm temple. There is a famous source for soba noodles nearby

If you look at it as a tourist temple, there is nothing, but if you have a wife of a priest, you can give a beautiful red stamp with a hearty ink.

It is said that it was built as a temple of the Jodo sect in 1589 in Tensho 17 (1589). The wooden statue of Amitabha Nyorai is said to be a famous Buddhist of the Kamakura period, which is very famous along with Unkei. Thank you very much for your red stamp "Tenku Nyorai".
