多聞寺, Buddhist temple in Kita-ku, Kobe, Japan

Tamonji Temple sits on the northeastern slopes of Mount Rokko, featuring traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture and a main hall reconstructed in 1690.

Founded during Emperor Kotoku's reign by Indian monk Hodo Sennin, the temple was later relocated in 1462 from its original site at Furudera Mountain.

The temple enshrines Bishamonten, a Buddhist guardian deity of prosperity and wealth, attracting both religious practitioners and visitors throughout the year.

Located directly next to Shintetsu-Rokko Station on the Kobe Electric Railway, the temple complex requires climbing numerous stone steps to reach the main hall.

During the Genpei War, the temple was burned down after refusing to guide Minamoto no Yoshitsune's forces in their attack on Suma's Ichinotani.
