Virtual Arima County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #5 Eisho-ji Temple

 

     It is unknown when and how Eisho-ji Temple was founded in Arino Village, Arima County, Settsu Province.  It is also unknown when and why it was abolished.

     Presumably, it was founded as a shrine temple of Gosha-Hachiman Shrine and/or to take care of the graves in Kirihata Cemetery.  If so, it might have been abolished after the Meiji Restoration Government issued the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order in 1868.
