Shōgon-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishiwaki, Japan.
Located at 1589 Kuroda in Nishiwaki, Shōgon-ji features a main hall and a two-story treasure pagoda with distinctive cypress bark roofing.
Founded in 652 by the mountain ascetic Hodo, Shōgon-ji underwent significant reconstruction of its treasure pagoda in 1711 during the Edo period.
The temple houses ancestral tablets of regional lords and maintains the Kuroda family genealogy document, connecting it to samurai Kuroda Kanbei.
The temple opens its genealogy exhibition room from 9 AM to 4 PM, with an entrance fee of 200 yen and parking facilities for large buses.
The treasure pagoda, designated as a Hyogo Prefecture Cultural Property, combines a cylindrical second floor with traditional architectural elements.
