Virtual Old Innami County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #26 Shinpuku-ji Temple

 

     It is unknown when Shinpuku-ji Temple was founded in Miyanomae Village, Innami County, Harima Province.  The village was first listed in the Keicho Kuni-ezu, the map published in 1611.  The village had 4 irrigation ponds which provided water to 8 surrounding villages.  As the temple belongs to Caodong Chan School, a certain samurai could have lived in the village to rule the irrigation.

     Shinpuku-ji Temple's precincts have a stone sarcophagi which is supposed to have been made in the 7th century.

     It is unknown why the #26 membership of the Innami County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was transferred to Shomyo-ji Temple.
