Isshin-ji Temple

Isshin-ji began as a hermitage that Honen Shonin built about 800 years ago west of Shitennoji, at a spot from which the sun could be seen setting into the sea. It is known throughout Japan as the temple of the bone Buddhas, images made from the ashes of the dead. Most of it burned in the war in 1945. The main hall was rebuilt in 1966, and the nenbutsu hall, the gate and other buildings have been restored since. It is a registered cultural property.
