Tenjoji Temple

4.0

"This Buddhist temple is in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. You can reach it by taking a Kobe City bus to Maya Cable Shita, taking the Maya Ropeway to Hoshi-no-Shita Station, and then walking about ten minutes. It's a sacred site on devotional circuits like the Floral Temples of the Kansai Region, the New Saigoku, and the Kobe Jusanbutsu pilgrimages. It was founded in 646 by Hodo Sennin on the orders of Emperor Kotoku. On the precincts you'll find the Tenjikudo Hall that enshrines a marble image brought from India of Maya, the historical Buddha's wife, as well as the Hana Mandala Bell cast with the imprints of 33 kinds of flowers. The principle object of worship is a hibutsu ""hidden image"" that's thought to ward off evil and invite prosperity."
