弘法院, Buddhist temple in Kameyama, Japan

Located in the Ega-muro district, Koboin Temple features a central hall dedicated to Kobo Daishi and an octagonal pavilion containing Dainichi Buddha statues.

The temple was established in 1932 by Reverend Shuhan Kisei, who dedicated it to Kobo Daishi and affiliated it with the Koyasan Shingon Buddhist sect.

The temple maintains monthly prayer ceremonies on the first day of each month and special Buddhist rituals on the 21st day dedicated to Kobo Daishi.

Visitors can reach the temple by walking northeast from JR Kameyama Station for approximately 1.5 kilometers along National Route 1 Kameyama Bypass.

A bronze statue of Mizuko Kobo Daishi, erected in 1978, stands near the temple entrance and receives regular offerings from local worshippers.
