Kodo-in

Add to MyRoute
Translated from Japanese by

"Kodo-in" is named "Sanenzan Kodo-in", which is the name of the mountain of "Zojo-ji Temple (三縁山廣度院Zojo-in)".
It is the oldest temple in the mountain that became the temple of the hermitage of the Rooster Guru when he opened Zojoji Temple.
At the time of the relocation of the Zojoji Temple to Shiba by Minamoto Ryūjin, who had received the blessing of Prince Tokugawa Ieyasu and was given the title of Kokushi to Emperor Goyosei, it was relocated to the corner in front of the Three Liberation Gates, along with the Fudozon of the Rooster Jojin Nen, which had been guarded at Kodo-in since the opening of the mountain.

Fudozon was enshrined so that he would not lose the rule of the old Kaizan Rooster. In addition, he was also worshipped as a substitute immovable son with the spiritual experience of healing the pox (epidemic disease) of the rooster.
He was offering the tablet of Matsudaira Tadakichi, the fourth son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was the first to be buried at the Tokugawa Family Bodhi Temple, Zojoji Temple.
It is also the lodging of Matsudaira Akimori (Asano family of Hiroshima Domain), and the crest of the Asano family's "Difference Falcon Feather" is on the front gate.

On December 11, 1998, the main gate of Kodo-in Temple and the parade wall were registered as National Tangible Cultural Properties (buildings).
