Virtual North Kawachi 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #6 Hakuun-ji Temple

 

     It is unknown when Hakuun-ji Temple was founded.  At first, it belonged to the Shingon Sect, but Priest Shinshuku transferred it to Pure Land Buddhism in the 1180's, embracing Honen (1133-1212), who advocated chanting Namo Amitabha.  As the Shingon Sect was established in the 9th century in Japan, the temple might have been founded sometime between the 9th and 12th centuries.
