Kyōdai-ji

Kyōdai-ji, Buddhist temple in Tokushima, Japan

Kyōdai-ji is a temple of the Nichiren Shōshū school in Tokushima, with the mountain name Shinren-san. It was founded by Nikkyō, the 17th abbot of Taiseki-ji, with Keidai-in, the wife of Tokushima domain lord Hachisuka Tadayoshi, as founding patron. The temple was moved from Edo and rebuilt several times after a 1945 fire.

Founded in 1645 when the Edo temple Hōshō-ji was moved to Tokushima by Keidai-in Nichishō, the wife of Hachisuka Toshishige, first lord of Tokushima Domain. Its founding abbot was Nisshō, 17th head of Taiseki-ji, head temple of Nichiren Shōshū. The temple burned down in the air raid of 4 July 1945 and was rebuilt in 1966 and again in 1997.

The temple belongs to the Nichiren Shōshū school, whose head temple is Taisekiji at the foot of Mount Fuji. Its founding patron was Keidai-in, the wife of Hachisuka Toshishige, the first lord of Tokushima Domain. In January 2015 the temple held a memorial service for the 350th anniversary of her death.

Kyōdai-ji is about a 10-minute walk from Tokushima Station on the JR Kōtoku Line, so no bus is needed. The temple stands in Tokushima city, Tokushima Prefecture, and its main hall was rebuilt in 1997 after earlier reconstructions in 1910 and 1966.

The temple was founded in 1645 when the Edo temple Hōshō-ji was moved to Tokushima, with Keidai-in, the wife of the first Tokushima domain lord Hachisuka Tadayoshi, as founding patron and the 17th abbot of Taiseki-ji, Nisshō, as founder. It belongs to the Nichiren Shōshū school, not the Soto Zen school.
