Reishōji, Sōtō Zen Buddhist temple in Takatsuki, Japan

Reishōji is a Sōtō Zen temple on Mount Kigyū in Takatsuki, founded in the 8th century and rebuilt in 1991. Its main hall enshrines an Eleven-Faced Kannon, and the grounds hold the andesite tomb of Miyoshi Yoshihide, known as the 'Kankan Stone of the Miyoshi'.

According to temple tradition, Gyōki founded it in the mid-8th century as Nyūshisan Jizō-in. In 1412 the Zen master Mutsugatsu Myōō enshrined a golden Buddha found beneath an old pine and renamed the temple Reishōji. Emperor Ōgimachi made it an imperial prayer temple in 1558, and the Miyoshi family patronized it until Takeyama Ukon's troops burned its halls in the Tenshō era; the present buildings date from 1991.

The temple's name comes from the golden Buddha statue that the Zen master Muge Myōō enshrined beneath an old pine in 1412, when the site was renamed Reishōji. The grounds hold the grave of Miyoshi Yoshihide, son of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, cut from andesite and known as the "Kankan stone of the Miyoshi". Tombs of Takatsuki castle lords such as Toki Sadayoshi also stand here.

Reishōji is about a 10-minute walk from JR Takatsuki Station. The current halls date from 1991, so the main gate, bell tower and main hall are modern reconstructions. Look for the grave of Miyoshi Yoshioki, carved from a single andesite boulder and known as the "Kankan Stone".

In the temple grounds stands the grave of Miyoshi Yoshioki, lord of Akutagawa Castle, cut from a single natural andesite stone and known as the "Miyoshi Kankan Stone"; the graves of Takatsuki Castle lords such as Toki Sadayoshi lie nearby. The temple's former name, Ushikaidera, survives in its mountain name, Kōgyūzan.
