Hon-do Hall of Sanbutsu-ji Temple

Prefectural Preservation of Cultural Property
It is said that the temple name "Sanbutsu-ji" (3 buddhas) of Mt. Mitoku was derived from the 3 revered buddhas enshrined in 849 by Jikaku Daishi Ennin.
“Shaka Nyorai, Amida Nyorai and Dainichi Nyorai” were the 3 objects of worship enshrined. This hall marks the start of the ascetic trail to Nageiredo Hall.
The current building of the hall was constructed in 1839. The three main deities (Sansho Gongen) are enshrined inside the hall and “mikoshis” (portable shrines) used at Mt. Mitoku’s Miyuki Procession are also kept there.
