Kyushoji Temple

This Buddhist temple stands on Prefectural Route 720 in Yamochi-cho, Ise City. According to records, the temple was built to memorialize the Taira clan by Taira no Tomomori after escaping to this area; Tomomori was the fourth son of the shogun Taira no Kiyomori, who is believed to have committed suicide after being defeated by the Minamoto clan in the Battle of Dan-no-ura. The temple's principal object of worship, a wooden standing figure of Amitabha, was created in the Kamakura period and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.
