Gyōjun-ji, Buddhist temple in Inabe, Japan.

Gyojun-ji is a Buddhist temple in Inabe featuring traditional Japanese architecture with curved rooflines and intricate wooden craftsmanship throughout its structures. The building complex contains prayer halls and meditation spaces arranged according to classical temple design principles.

Founded in 827 as a Shingon temple subordinate to Mount Kōya, it burned down in war and was revived in 1448 when Kyōbu-bō Kūken and his disciple Shōgen-bō converted to Jōdo Shinshō under Rennyo. Rennyo stayed four days in 1449 and left the six-character name 'Torao no myōgō'. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1745.

The temple's name comes from the Nikaidō clan, whose descendant Gyōbu (Kūken) built a residence at Nakatsuhara and became a monk; the temple's founder is remembered as 'Soraiken of Ise'. Every year in late April, the Rennyo Memorial is held, when the temple's treasures are displayed, including a six-character name written by Rennyo himself.

The temple grounds are accessible by local buses with regular service from Inabe station during daytime hours. Wearing comfortable shoes and planning your visit in advance will enhance your experience on the temple premises.

The temple keeps the six-character name "Torao no Myōgō" that Rennyo is said to have brushed here during a four-day stay in 1449, on his way from Ōmi over Mount Ryūga toward the northern provinces. It is shown publicly each year at the Rennyo memorial in late April.
