Virtual Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #23 Kofuku-ji Temple

     Kofuku-ji Temple was founded by Amamiya Hidenori in 1580.  In 1579, the alliance between the Later Hojo Clan and the Takeda Clan broke up.  Hojo Ujiteru (1542-15909, the lord of Hachioji Castle, sent Amamiya Tsunanobu (1536-1609) to Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582) to ally with him.  The people in the Kanto Region were getting involved in the national situation.

     The temple was revived by Priest Juson in 1597, when Japan invaded Korea again.

     In 1619, the then head of the family was given a Buddhist posthumous name Senko-in, and his wife Jurin-in.  The temple was renamed Jurin-san Senko-in Temple after them.
