光了寺, Buddhist temple in Koga, Japan
Koryo-ji Temple stands on extensive grounds in Koga City, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with a main hall and a treasure house.
Originally established as Takayanagi Temple during the Kamakura period, it changed to Jodo Shinshu Buddhism between 1213 and 1218 under priest Enshu Koetsu.
The temple preserves artifacts connected to Shizuka Gozen, including a dragon robe and personal items of her companion, the medieval warrior Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
Located at 1334 Nakata, Koga City, the temple can be reached by a 15-minute taxi ride from Koga Station on the Utsunomiya Line.
The temple houses a designated cultural property, a Kamakura-period wooden statue of Prince Shotoku, attributed to the Buddhist teacher Shinran.
