Koonji (#61)

History

This temple was founded during the 6th century by Shōtoku Taishi (573-621). When Kūkai came here, he found a pregnant woman who was in pain so he lit incense and prayed for her. As a result, a boy was safely born. This temple is widely known as Koyasu Daishi – Daishi of protecting children. The modern concrete Main Hall is a unique feature of this temple.
