Joraku-ji Temple

The Zen temple of the Rinzai sect (Rin Zaishu) Myoshinji school, which stands at the foot of the mountain at Byeshan. It is known for its Ikizumi-style garden, which was built in the early Edo period. The garden, which cleverly uses the slopes at the foot of the mountain, is equipped with tea rooms and a triple treasure pagoda, and has a sophisticated style. The Kiri Shitan lantern, which carved a statue of Maria on lanterns during the Edo period when Christianity was banned, and which he pretended to be Jizo-son, cannot be overlooked.

An ancient temple standing on the banks of the river. When Hiroho Daishi was doing Hōma Shōjō in Ōshigamori, Dainichi Nyorai appeared in the air and received the announcement of the construction of Ichiyu, so the figure of Dainichi Nyorai was carved into the main temple, and the name of the temple was also named after this. However, since it later became a temple of Ichinomiya Shrine, it is also known as Ichinomiya-ji, and it becomes prosperous. The main hall was destroyed by fire during the Tensho period (1573-92), and the current Dou was rebuilt during the Meiji period. The eleven-faced Kansei Onbodhisattva, which had been held at Ichinomiya Shrine by the separation of Shinto and Buddha in the Meiji era, was moved to this temple, and this is the main temple. The original main god, Dainichi Nyorai, is enshrined as a Waki Samurai Buddha.

It was one of the Kokubunji temples erected throughout the country at the order of Emperor Shōmu, and Gyoki was founded. At that time, it was a large gaiji with a seven-storied pagoda as a prayer office for the Zhengui state, but the temple pagoda was burned to the ground due to the fire of the Chōsengagabe during the Tensho years (1573-92). It later became the Sōtō sect temple when it was rebuilt in the first year of Kanbo (1741) by Hōsan Yōshi Kazunaga. It was rebuilt over a long period of time, including the establishment of the Taishido in the Tenpo Year (1830-44). The main temple of the present-day double-layer Irimoya is rebuilt during the Bunsei period (1804-30), and the plaques of Emperor Shōmu and Empress Kōmei are enshrined. The precinct is home to the Meishatsu Awa Kokubunji Garden, a lively stone-style garden made of green stone megaliths from local Awa.
