    The temple was founded by Gyōgi as a place for Empress Kōken to pray and at one time was quite large, with 66 branch halls and 7 affiliated temples. All were burned in 1416 and later rebuilt by the Kōno clan of Iyo Province on a much smaller scale.

    The hondō is built in the Chinese style of architecture and contains a statue of the founder of the Nembutsu practice, Kūya Shōnin (903-972). The statue is classified as an Important Cultural Property and attributed to Kūya himself. Legend says that he stayed here for three years and that the local people were so sorry to see him leave when he did that they asked him to carve his own image and leave it behind. He is known as the founder of the Kūya School of Tendai Buddhism and is known as the Saint of the Streets.

    The honzon is also by Gyōgi. Minamoto no Yoritomo is believed to have built the temple. Kūya's grave is only 1 cho from the temple and pilgrims are supposed to visit. The temple preserves statues of the first three patriarchs of Japanese Jōdoshū even though it is a Shingon temple.

    Frederick Starr says that the temple was founded by Kōbō Daishi.

The tall and large entrance to Jōdo-ji. On the left and right of the gate, the Kongo Rikishi statue, which seems to be about 3m high, rises.

 

This is the main hall of S Jōdo-ji. Shaka Nyorai is enshrined. The purple cloth gives a nice atmosphere.

 

Next, at the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi, he recites the Heart Sutra.

It has been accompanied by a pilgrim’s bus tour, but I pray for the safety of my family and the peace of the world.
