Yūfuku-ji

Yūfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Tōgō, Japan

Yūfuku-ji is a Jōdo-shū Seizan Zenrin-ji school temple in Tōgō, Aichi Prefecture, with the mountain name Gyokushō-zan and the cloister name Hannya-in. Its main image is a hanging silk scroll of the Amida triad, shown at the equinox services and the autumn Jūya-e. The current two-storey gate (niōmon) was built in 1892; the great bell was requisitioned in World War II and recast in 1949. The grounds hold a Benten island with a pond of carp, a Kannon hall, a Fudō hall and an Amida hall.

Founded in 1191 by Utsunomiya Yoritsuna, a warrior from Shimotsuke Province, Yūfuku-ji was revived in 1389 when Onoda Chōan of Myōchi Castle and Katō Tokitoshi of Bōjimoto Castle invited Tatchi Shōnin from Mino Province. In the Muromachi period it became an imperially appointed prayer temple, hosting envoys of Emperors Go-Komatsu and Go-Kashiwabara; Ashikaga Yoshinori stayed here and granted it 700 koku. Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobutada, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Yoshinao later confirmed its lands, and Imagawa Yoshimoto is said to have lodged here the night before the Battle of Okehazama.

Yūfuku-ji belongs to the Jōdo-shū Seizan Zenrin-ji school, and its name pairs 祐 (blessing) with 福 (fortune). Visitors can see the Benzaiten hall on Benten Island, where carp are raised in the pond, and the temple holds the Bishamonten festival on 25 October and the Jūya-e on the 14th day of the tenth lunar month.

The temple stands in Tōgō, Aichi Prefecture, and is reached from the Tōgō town area; the main gate (Niōmon) dates from 1892. The pond with the Benzaiten shrine and its koi lies within the grounds, and the cemetery is on the site. The main hall's hanging scroll of Amida Triad is shown at the equinox services and the autumn Jūya-e.

The hillside temple grounds hold a pond with a small island, Benten-jima, where a shrine to Benzaiten stands and koi are raised. The main hall's silk hanging scroll of the Amida triad is shown only at the equinox services and the autumn Jūya-e.
