Virtual Shonai 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #5 Yoju-ji Temple

 

     Hojo Tokiyori (1227-1263), who was the 5th Regent of the Kamakura Shogunate, dispatched 3 samurai as judiciary and military officers.  Umezu Sanetaka built Soegawa Fort halfway up Mt. Omori from Soegawa Village to carry out his mission.  He also founded Kegon-ji Temple in the mountain.

     In March, 1451, Priest Zejun (?-1461) moved the temple to its present place at the foot of the mountain.

Any and every one has a spirit

To wish.  However,

It's delightful to have a deep wish.
