Virtual Shimokita 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 Shinko-ji Temple

 

     Shinko-ji Temple was founded in 1647 in the south of Ohata Hachiman-gu Shrine by Priest Shin'nyu, the 5th priest of Daisen-ji Temple in Morioka, the capital of the Morioka Domain, which was ruled by the Nanbu Clan.

     It is unknown when Shinzan Shrine was founded.  The shrine had Hachiman-gu Shrine in its precincts.  In 1617, it burned down.  Hachiman-gu Shrine was revived by being moved to its present place in 1648.  Miyama Shrine was rebuilt in 1654.

     The neighborhood might have been rezoned as a religious zone.
